The project seeks to contribute towards reducing chronic food insecurity in the Karamoja region, which is a result of combined pressures, including environmental degradation and climate change. The overall objectives is to channel investments into the food production systems and value chains using climate resilient production techniques like Farmer Field School approach, adapted to the realities of the agro-pastoral societies of Karamoja.
