Description

In addition, following the Covid-19 crisis, poor access to markets has exacerbated food insecurity. Faced with the many challenges encountered in the Amudat region (north-eastern Uganda), FH is working with farmers to improve agricultural and livestock production in an environmentally friendly way, using agro-ecological practices. The development of technical and entrepreneurial skills is encouraged and access to resources improved. These changes have a positive impact on household incomes and the health of livestock, increasing crop yields and reducing post-harvest losses.
Agro-ecological practices and behavioural changes help to regenerate the environment and improve the local microclimate, increasing humidity and biodiversity and helping to preserve water resources.
Beneficiaries are also trained to change their behaviour in terms of nutrition, water and hygiene. FH also supports the adoption of alternative energy sources, helping to protect biodiversity. Finally, the social integration of women is promoted.
