Pilot corn field (climate resilient species) as part of the environmental justice project funded by Mama Cash
In a context where global warming represents a growing threat to ecosystems and communities, the non-profit organization MAMA ODARI stands out for its commitment to environmental justice. Thanks to the support of MAMA CASH, the organization has launched an innovative project: a pilot field of cassava, a species recognized for its resilience in the face of climate change.
As part of our commitment to environmental justice, MAMA ODARI has launched an innovative project funded by Mama Cash, which consists of establishing a cassava pilot field. Cassava, known for its robustness and ability to adapt to varied climatic conditions, is an essential crop for local communities. This project aims not only to promote cassava cultivation, but also to raise awareness among farmers on sustainable and climate-resilient practices.
The impact of the project on the fight against global warming
Adaptation to climate conditions : Cassava is a crop that requires less water than other food crops. By integrating this species into local agricultural systems, we help reduce dependence on irrigation and minimize the impact of drought.
Food security : By diversifying crops with cassava, we strengthen the food security of communities. This helps reduce the vulnerability of populations to climate fluctuations and food crises.
Awareness and training : Through workshops and training sessions, we educate farmers on sustainable farming practices. This includes cultivation techniques that preserve soils and promote biodiversity, contributing to a more resilient ecosystem.
Community building : This project is not limited to cassava cultivation. It also promotes social cohesion by bringing community members together around a common goal: combating global warming and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
