Climate Smart Agriculture
Helping farmers grow more with less water and land.
Why this matters
Smallholder farmers in Mityana face limited water access, unpredictable rainfall and farming methods that are less suited to a changing climate.
DORA’s responseYouth-led demonstration farms showcase drip irrigation, drought-resistant seed varieties and low-cost water-saving techniques, supported by WhatsApp extension tips.
What we do
- Demonstration farms established and maintained
- Drip-irrigation installation and training
- Drought-resistant seed trials
- WhatsApp agricultural extension groups
- Youth apprenticeships
- Adaptive farming-tool training for PWDs
Smallholder households; youth seeking agribusiness skills; PWDs; neighbouring farmers reached through peer training.
Expected outcomes
Better yields with less water and land; greater climate resilience; youth income; faster access to advice.
Impact
Youth-led demonstration farms give farmers a practical place to see climate-smart methods in action.
