番茄社区 the Project

AGP鈥檚 second phase receives $30 million in additional financing to sustainably increase agricultural production and productivity of selected crop and livestock commodities. The project aims to achieve this by establishing market linkages, accelerating commercialization, increasing access to agricultural public services, building smallholder farmer capacity in efficient water and crop management to adopt and implement climate change mitigation and adaptation measures, and improving dietary diversification for better health. AGP-II expands on AGP鈥檚 approaches by establishing a capacity development support facility to consistently expand private sector participation in SSI work. The project received additional funding from GAFSP to support responses to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
