Climate Resilient Agriculture in Three Vulnerable Extreme Northern Crop-Growing Regions (CRAVE): FP023
Project Outline
This project seeks to reduce the vulnerability and food insecurity of the rural human population caused by climate risks and threats in the vulnerable extreme northern regions of Kavango West, Kavango East, and Zambezi, while increasing the adaptive capacity, well-being, and resilience of vulnerable small-scale farming communities in crop production landscapes.
