Objective

The project aims to contribute to climate-resilient, transparent supply chains that will enable farmers to maintain or improve their yields, adjust to changing climatic circumstances, reduce farming risks and eventually increase incomes and food security, with respect for the environment. The tool will create a solution to reward farmers for environmentally friendly practices and CSA and give them insights into the best CSA practices.
