A challenging climate

Farmers face a range of challenges that affect productivity, livelihoods and food security. These include degraded, nutrient-poor soils, limited access to quality seeds and fertilisers, and increasingly unpredictable climates. Pests, diseases and post-harvest losses can further reduce yields and income, while poor health and nutrient deficiencies can affect farmers’ wellbeing and productivity. Technical skills gaps, barriers to markets and financial management challenges can also limit farmers’ ability to improve production, manage risks and build sustainable livelihoods.

Growing a future

Our Sustainable Agriculture projects deliver training in modern sustainable farming practices to combat these challenges.  This includes soil preparation, feed and fertiliser; succession planting and intercropping; cultivation and multiplication techniques; water and resources management, and processing, harvest and storage.  Business skills training supports business groups with organisational development, value chains, marketing and market linkages.  Working alongside established producers, our trainees learn how to turn crop production into a means of generating income as well as achieving household food security.

Lasting impacts

Our agriculture projects don’t end with graduation. Trainees share their knowledge with friends, family and neighbours, extending the impact of their learning across the community. They work together on practical projects, such as rehabilitating wells and planting trees to improve soil structure, while forming business groups and networks that help them access new markets and increase their collective market share. In this way, training creates lasting connections, stronger communities and more sustainable agricultural businesses.
