The agricultural project works with 120 members from farming communities that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change and changing circumstances in the Himalaya. The selected participants’ main source of income is agriculture, but in most cases does not generate sufficient income.
The project aims to economically strengthen the participants by supporting the farmers to transition towards sustainable agricultural practices, providing advanced training for diversification or production and entrepreneurial guidance for better use of available opportunity.
