The strategy contributes to achieving water and food security and improving the livelihoods of smallholder farming households in the Bay Region (GO)- in the peri-urban setting-and is based on the community-wide adoption of a small-scale agribusiness system based on agroecological practices that can increase productivity, efficiency and yield while preserving production-related natural resources (soil and water) (SO). These objectives are pursued by acting on three components: (R1) By improving access to water through the introduction of Water Management and Conservation Systems (WMCs), water supply, storage and distribution infrastructure, and dissemination of Water Soil Conservation practices, farmers will increase agricultural productivity--c…
