In the face of climate change, farmers in southern Angola are turning to "innovative and climate-resilient farming practices," the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization says in a press release.
The project, called Chitanda II, aims to "strengthen the resilience of farming communities to climate change" and improve food and nutritional security in the region, especially in areas that are vulnerable to droughts, the BBC reports.
Farmers in the area will also be encouraged to use agricultural processing and biogas technologies, which "enable communities to diversify their income and energy sources, which is crucial for long-term sustainability," says the project's manager.
The press release notes that the process will also generate organic fertilisers, essential for improving agricultural productivity.
"Through these actions, the Chitanda II project not only supports the development of local communities but also encourages adopting more sustainable agricultural practices, generating lasting positive impacts on the rural economy and environment," the manager adds.
