In many regions in Ethiopia, soil degradation and damage to natural resources caused by climate change is threatening farmers’ livelihoods and affecting long-term food security.
40,485
households benefitted from climate-smart agriculture initiatives.
Jointly managed by a consortium of four NGOs: Farm Africa, SOS Sahel Ethiopia, Self Help Africa and Vita, the project promoted climate-smart agriculture (CSA) to help farmers to manage their farm resources in ways which can protect ecosystems and reduce agriculture’s contribution to climate change. The five-year project aimed to alleviate poverty and build resilient, sustainable livelihoods in Ethiopia’s SNNP and Oromia regions. The project worked with 40,485 households, with a particular focus on women, children and young people without land.
CSA also aims to help farmers boost their profits, supporting business growth and the development of stronger value chains. By promoting diversification and the growth of cash crops such as haricot beans, this project encouraged agricultural intensification which is both profitable and environmentally-friendly.
