The programme “Linking agrobiodiversity value chains, climate adaptation and nutrition: Empowering the poor to manage risk†funded by IFAD and the European Union from 2015 to 2018 aims to strengthen the capacities of farmers to manage risks associated with climate change, poor nutrition status, and economic disempowerment through agrobiodiversity-based solutions.
