Food security, alleviation of poverty, education

 

The project is aimed at promoting a higher level of food security and income in the area of faming and herding for the indigenous population of the 36 rural communities, by training local leaders in cultivation, production and marketing techniques, through the use of technical services provided by a local NGO with several years of experience of a working method known as "farmer to farmer". At the same time, a pilot scheme for two irrigations systems, one drop-by-drop and the other with sprinklers, will be implemented through community work in two communities in order to provide two different types of technical innovation compatible with local resources, and the necessary assistance with the organisation and management of the systems and production. This is part of a process of awareness and knowledge aimed at the establishment of a cooperation agreement between the Province of Cangallo and the mountain community of Valli Orco and Soana.
