Pilot field of cassava and corn (a species resilient to global warming) as part of the environmental justice project funded by Mama Cash
In a context where global warming represents a growing threat to ecosystems and communities, the non-profit organization MAMA ODARI stands out for its commitment to environmental justice. Thanks to the support of MAMA CASH, the organization has launched an innovative project: a pilot field of cassava and corn, a species recognized for its resilience in the face of climate change.
As part of our commitment to environmental justice, MAMA ODARI has launched an innovative project funded by Mama Cash, which consists of establishing a cassava pilot field. The cassava and maize pilot field project is a holistic initiative that combines environmental, social, and economic objectives, aimed at building stronger and more resilient communities in the face of climate change challenges.
The project's impact on the fight against global warming
Adapting to climate conditions : Cassava and maize are crops that require less water than other food crops. By integrating this species into local farming systems, we help reduce dependence on irrigation and minimize the impact of drought.
Food security : By diversifying crops with cassava and corn, we strengthen community food security. This helps reduce populations' vulnerability to climate fluctuations and food crises.
Awareness and training : Through workshops and training sessions, we educate farmers on sustainable agricultural practices. This includes cultivation techniques that preserve soils and promote biodiversity, thus contributing to a more resilient ecosystem.
Community Strengthening : This project is not limited to the cultivation of cassava and corn. It also promotes social cohesion by bringing community members together around a common goal: the fight against global warming and the promotion of sustainable agricultural practices.
