Our Objective

To improve the resilience of rural communities in the Menabe region to the effects of climate change and strengthen their economic autonomy and transition to sustainable and agroecological agriculture.

Our actions

• Technical support for agroecological production and sustainable farm management
• Support for agricultural and food diversification, with easier access to agricultural inputs
• Support for the development of commercial channels and the processing of agricultural products to increase local added value
• Promotion of agroforestry and reforestation to limit erosion and improve soil quality
• Establishment of income-generating activities for rural households
• Structuring and supporting farmers' organisations for better representation with regional and national authorities
• Raising awareness of climate change among rural communities and using the Environmental Integration Tool (OIE) to promote more resilient and sustainable agriculture

Our Impact

This project helps improve food security, economic autonomy and the resilience of farmers to drought and erosion. It promotes sustainable local agriculture and supports the structuring of farmers' organisations so that they can better defend their interests and influence local and regional decisions.
