Agriculture Program Expands to Three New Communities
USI's climate-smart agriculture program expanded to three additional rural communities this season, equipping women farmers with modern, sustainable farming techniques.
Overview
Participants receive training across crop rotation and soil health, water-efficient irrigation, post-harvest food processing, and access to agricultural micro-finance — plus starter kits including seeds, basic tools, and a savings group toolkit to help formalize household farm income.

- Equip women farmers with sustainable, climate-smart farming techniques.
- Improve household income through agri-business and value-chain skills.
Activities Carried Out
- Crop rotation and soil health training.
- Water-efficient irrigation methods.
