West Asia and North Africa is the most water scarce region in the world. The mounting challenges with climate change is fast undermining the region’s ability to feed its growing population. The region is the most food-import dependent in the world. Farmers confront erratic rainfall, frequent droughts, increasing salinity, and a limited natural resource base of arable land and water. The increasing mono-cropping of wheat is further depleting soil fertility and increasing intensity of diseases and pests. The project, funded by European Union and IFAD, worked to improve the performance of wheat-legume systems for smallholder farmers in the WANA region for many-fold benefits: increased productivity and profitability; enhanced food and nutrition security; fertile soils and reduced land degradation; and greater resilience in livelihoods to climate change.
