The project aims to empower 2.000 vulnerable rural families in Odisha, India by improving food security and dietary health through sustainable nutrition gardens. It addresses severe food insecurity and the impacts of climate change by providing targeted training in climate-adaptive subsistence farming and raising awareness about nutrition and dietary diversity. Main activities include motivating women to establish nutrition gardens, conducting comprehensive training on sustainable agricultural practices, setting up seed banks, and implementing climate alert systems. The project will also mobilise communities to utilise available schemes related to livelihood improvement. Finally, the project aims to engage stakeholders to work for inclusion of subsistence farming in government schemes related to climate vulnerability. These efforts aim to enhance community resilience and build local capacity and a solid foundation for long-term self-sufficiency and improved health outcomes.
