We place climate-smart and climate-resilient agriculture at the forefront of our priorities by implementing open-field research trials on seeds, irrigation, fertilizers, and soil characteristics, aiming to:
Identify improved crop varieties suitable for dry areas Promote good agricultural practices that are climate-adaptive Equip farmers with knowledge based on scientific evidence Increase production and reduce climate-related risks
During the summer season in Taiz and Lahj, the field trials clearly demonstrated the difference between:
Improved seeds vs. traditional seeds Modern practices vs. the current methods used by farmersThe results were highly encouraging, highlighting the importance of adopting climate-smart agriculture to ensure sustainable food security and improve farmers’ livelihoods.
In close coordination with the local agricultural research centers in Taiz and Lahj, we are working to transfer research findings from experimental plots to farmers’ fields and turn them into practical applications that benefit farmers directly.
Funded by GIZ and in partnership with the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), we continue to develop innovative models that strengthen the resilience of rural communities in Yemen.
