We were also assisted with a goat fence to prevent unattended animals from roaming around eating and damaging our crops shares Sikeli. Cassava and turmeric planting materials were also distributed to the Navosa cluster to support the resilience of rural livelihoods in the context of the Covid-19 crisis, by ensuring timely access to agriculture inputs, information, and markets. It also strengthens the returns of smallholder farmers through stronger market linkages locally, and overseas, stronger information sharing, and a supportive strategy environment. |
