Feminist Solutions to Climate Change-Driven Food Insecurity

About this project

The Feminist Solutions to Climate Change-Driven Food Insecurity (FEMIN-ACT) project aims to address Iraq’s poverty reduction and food insecurity in Iraq through an integrated approach to agricultural development. It aims to enhance the capacity of smallholder farmers to operationalize best practices of climate-smart agriculture, such as drip irrigation systems, reduced pesticide use and increased use of drought-resistant crop varieties. These techniques focus on reducing water consumption, increasing productivity, and boosting income, reducing poverty and increasing food security. Moreover, the project aims to enhance the participation of women alongside men farmers to fully engage in the agriculture field. It aims to create an enabling environment empowering women and youth to exercise their leadership potential through networking and collaboration with other farmers, farmers unions, and associations to connect, share knowledge, and enhance their capacity to make informed decisions. Finally, this project contributes to strengthening the knowledge and skills among food value chain actors to be more productive, market-integrated, and sustainable.
