Farmer to Farmer for Food Security
on Agriculture by Winrock International
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This program will focus activities in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Ethiopia. This program will build local capacity and increase food security by increasing agriculture sector productivity and profitability and strengthening agriculture sector institutions. Winrock will engage qualified U.S. volunteers to help develop and deliver training and technical assistance on agricultural production, post-harvest processing practices and technologies, and other topics to improve food availability and access in the three target countries. Winrock will work with local organizations to help producers, particularly women, to adopt new technologies and practices that will increase their productivity, efficiency, and incomes. Winrock will also strengthen agricultural sector institutions focusing on private and public extension systems- to better serve vulnerable populations, particularly women.
