Kickoff visit in Tanzania
In Tanzania, the project started in July 2021 with a field visit by the consortium members. The first objective was to define how and in which regions and districts the CROPS4HD project will focus its action.
CROPS4HD builds climate resilience
The project CROPS4HD promotes neglected and underutilised crops that are more resilient to the impacts of climate change as a strategy for farmers to adapt their production to the new reality of climate change.
Fonio millet, Lablab bean or Bambara groundnuts: the rediscovered crops
The new SWISSAID project CROPS4HD focuses on local, almost forgotten crops to improve the food security of people in the South.
Gender and diversity mainstreaming
CROPS4HD designed its project to take women’s different roles and realities into account. Specifically, following recommendations extracted from the four preparatory gender and conflict studies, the project integrated the study findings in the project design and will characterize the work in the four countries.
Use of technology in CROPS4HD
CROPS4HD will use a phone-based information and communication platform and methodology for mutual sharing of knowledge and experiences among peasants groups and link them with expert knowledge nationally and internationally.
