Investing in rural people in Paraguay
Investing in rural people in Paraguay
May 2016
IFAD-funded operations in Paraguay focus on empowering smallholder farmers and indigenous families by creating and strengthening rural organizations - in terms of governance, organizational administration and service capacity - to provide members with the tools they need to manage their own development.
Training and funding allow rural organizations’ members to increasingly use technology in agricultural production in a number of areas:
- sound input use techniques
- soil conservation practices
- efficient irrigation
- use of appropriate genetic resources.
