Details
This project empowers 1,000 women, including women with disabilities, to lead agroecology solutions to protect agro-biodiversity of soil in Tanna and Erramango. A combination of demonstration plots, seed banks, nurseries and learning exchanges will be utilised to promote climate resilient livelihoods, and the Women I TokTok Tugeta network will take this knowledge back to their communities. The project sites target upland farms affected by soil erosion and poor soil nutrition, along with coconut and banana plantations in low-lying coastal areas. These sites have been selected due to their exposure to successive cyclones and climate-related disasters.
This project is funded under Component 2 of CRxN via the Pacific NbS Challenge.
