Project Brief: Improving Agricultural Resilience to Salinity through Development and Promotion of Pro-poor Technologies (RESADE)

Climate change is increasing salinity in sub-Saharan Africa, contributing to crop failure and impacting farmers' livelihoods. Salinity stems from improper irrigation, waterlogging, over-pumping, rising sea levels and seawater intrusion.

RESADE is improving food security, agricultural productivity and incomes of poor smallholder farmers in salinity-affected areas in seven countries. It does so by introducing salt-tolerant crops, using suitable agronomic management practices, developing value chains for new crops, building capacity, influencing national development policies, providing good quality seeds.
