Safeguarding food security through emergency fertilizer and wheat production assistance

To achieve an expected impact of safeguarding food and nutrition security of vulnerable marginal farming households, the project undertook the following activities:

• provision of time-critical agricultural livelihoods assistance in the form of fertilizers to food insecure farmers already receiving certified seeds through other complementary funding;
• provision of time-critical and season-sensitive agriculture assistance in the form of certified wheat seeds and quality fertilizers;
• provision of technical training on appropriate cultivation techniques for certified seed / improved varieties, climate smart agriculture and integrated / natural pest management; and
  
• sensitization and awareness building on COVID-safe practices to adopt during farm level practices.
