Generation and Transfer of Agricultural Technology and Seed Production Project
The objective of this project was to increase incomes and improve
living standards and nutritional levels for poor farmers in five
selected regions. The regions chosen have a high concentration of
smallholder farms, ranging from 1 to 4 ha in size. Most of the target
communities are indigenous, producing mainly food crops with some
small-scale livestock farms. The project worked to develop and disseminate
technology and research for agriculture, and to improve productivity
for traditional or subsistence farmers, especially crop production.
