Agriculture
ADRA partners with global donors to champion innovative, responsible agriculture that enhances crop yields, improves livestock performance, and strengthens livelihoods.
ADRA equips farmers to face modern agricultural challenges by introducing drought-resistant crops in Honduras and disease-resistant varieties in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Our agricultural solutions in Madagascar, Zambia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Uganda, and Mozambique leverage breakthrough techniques like permagardens, conservation agriculture, fisheries, advanced horticulture, and forestry to build thriving, food-secure communities.
ADRA transforms farming into a pathway for economic growth by prioritizing community-led solutions.
Farmer Field Schools (FFS) and Farmer Market Schools (FMS) learning models equip smallholders with essential market skills, good agricultural practices, and market insights. Lead Farmer Initiatives and Farmer-to-Farmer Mentoring allow farmers to scale practices and amplify impact through peer-driven learning and support. In Madagascar, Lead Farmers have evolved into private service providers, demonstrating the model’s potential for expansion.
Community Animal Health Workers deliver crucial grassroots animal health services.
ADRA integrates cutting-edge tools like GIS mapping and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to accelerate progress and ensure data-driven impact. By exploring high-integrity and verified mechanisms for emissions reduction and multi-donor funding, we scale proven solutions globally to create transformative change.
