The objective of the project is to improve the food security and resilience of 5000 marginalized households (? 26.610 persons) in three municipalities of Dhanusa District. It is intended that 5000 marginalised households have transitioned towards a regenerative agriculture production at the project end, civil society actors from the agricultural sector promote and advocate regenerative agriculture at municipal and provincial level and 3 local governments support policy and programmes in agriculture in line with the agro-ecological principles (municipal/provincial level). 3 organisations (Aasaman, JWAS and PAC) together with local CBOs from the agricultural sector and other civil society stakeholders will work on a multi-stakeholder approach to promote regenerative agriculture. The project provides inclusive dialogues and links up with local government to address small holder farmers needs and their challenges in farming and to find solutions how their needs should be reflected in the local policies and programmes. The project has a participatory and inclusive approach that ensures that the most marginalised small holder farmers join the advocacy dialogues, including female farmers and farmers from the Dalit/ Musahar, muslim and other ethnic minority communities such as Maghi/ Tharu.
