Scaling good agricultural practices and technologies

Smallholder farmers who have learnt new climate-smart practices can secure their livelihoods and improve the food security in their households.

Under the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) component in the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative, farmers have, over time, learnt new technologies such as use of the ripper-tine, climate-smart principles like conservation agriculture and seeing the advantages of these approaches in their farming systems.

Through the scaling approach, farmers observe widespread benefits of adopting climate-smart technologies and increased resilience against climate-induced shocks and stresses. The initiative is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and the World Food Program (WFP).
