At World Partnership for Development (WPD), we understand that agriculture is the backbone of our communities and food security is essential for healthy, productive lives. Our work in this area focuses on empowering farmers, improving food systems, and ensuring everyone has access to nutritious food. Here is what we will do:

1. Support Smallholder Farmers

   • Provide training on modern and climate-smart farming techniques.

   • Supply quality seeds, tools, and fertilizers to increase productivity.

   • Promote sustainable farming practices to protect the environment.
     Example: A local farmer will learn how to rotate crops to improve soil fertility and reduce pest problems.

2. Promote Climate-Resilient Agriculture

   • Help farmers adapt to climate change through drought-tolerant crops and water-saving technologies.

   • Encourage agroforestry and soil conservation methods.
     Example: Introducing rainwater harvesting techniques to ensure crops survive even in dry seasons.

3. Enhance Market Access

   • Support farmers to access local and regional markets.

   • Provide training on value addition, storage, and packaging to increase income.
     Example: Farmers will learn to turn fresh tomatoes into tomato paste, which can be sold at higher prices.

4. Food Security and Nutrition Awareness

   • Educate communities on nutrition and healthy diets.

   • Support school feeding programs and community gardens.
     Example: Families will be encouraged to grow and consume a variety of vegetables to improve child nutrition.

5. Encourage Innovation in Agriculture

   • Introduce digital tools for farm management and weather forecasting.

   • Support farmer cooperatives and youth engagement in agribusiness.
     Example: A farmer can receive SMS alerts on the best time to plant or harvest crops.

6. Emergency Food Assistance

   • Provide support during droughts, floods, or other crises to ensure families do not go hungry.
     Example: Distributing food or seeds to affected communities to restart farming quickly.

Our Vision in Agriculture and Food Security:
WPD aims to create a self-reliant, resilient, and productive farming community where no one goes hungry, and farmers can sustainably improve their livelihoods.
