With sustainable livelihood methods, people can provide basic needs for their families such as food, shelter and clothing. That is why we work with individuals and families to start and grow small business to give them financial stability. By providing sustainable climate smart farming methods, we have witnessed stories of families that barely had any source of income now earning an income out of the cash crops they are growing.
In Sinda District of Eastern Province, female farmers from the Center of Excellence are actively engaged in preparing vegetables for drying, a key value addition practice under the FARMS 1 project. This initiative, aimed at supporting smallholder farmers in achieving sustainable economic growth, focuses on enhancing the efficiency of production, value addition, and marketing of agricultural products. By learning and adopting such techniques, these women are not only increasing the shelf life and market value of their crops but also contributing to improved food security and income generation for their families. Through FARMS 1, the women are gaining valuable skills that help them strengthen their livelihoods while promoting resilience and self-sufficiency in their communities.
In Gwembe, Southern Province, a thriving vegetable garden stands as a testament to the success of the Micro Irrigation technology promoted by ADRA with support from Norwegian Church Aid. This innovative approach allows farmers to optimize water use, enhancing crop production even in areas with limited water resources. The introduction of micro irrigation has enabled local farmers to efficiently irrigate their crops, leading to healthier and more abundant harvests. Through this initiative, ADRA is empowering the community with sustainable agricultural practices that not only improve food security but also provide an opportunity for increased income. The project exemplifies how the right technology can transform farming practices and create lasting positive change in rural communities.
