RAIZ: Resilience Building through Agroecological Intensification in Zimbabwe
Objectives of the Project: The overall objective is to develop and implement in Zimbabwe scientifically tested agroecological approaches to enhance agricultural production and resilience to climate change, while protecting the environment and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We will provide scientific evidence and support innovation for designing Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) at the plot, farm and landscape levels, contextualized for mixed crop-livestock farms under sub-humid to semi-arid environments.
