Descripción
The project responded to the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) conflict (2014–2017) in the Nineveh Governorate of Iraq to restore sustainable agriculture and food security for the rural and peri-urban population. It adopted a value chain approach with capacity building for the Directorate of Agriculture’s extension workers. This involved crop and livestock activities that addressed vegetable production, dairy and agrifood processing, and small ruminant fattening systems. Crop producers, livestock keepers, small-scale family farms and value chain actors were the primary beneficiaries. Governmental and agricultural service providers, decision-makers and community-based facilitators from Farmer Field Schools were key participants.
