The Agricultural Transformation Institute (ATI) launched the Food Security and Agriculture Rehabilitation Measures in Conflict Affected Regions of Ethiopia (FARM) project, financed by the Agence Française de Development / French Development Agency (AFD) and the European Union (EU), at Capital Hotel, Addis Ababa.
The FARM project aims to contribute to reducing food insecurity in Ethiopia by relaunching resilient agricultural activity in conflict-affected regions and improving agricultural productivity by strengthening the seed sector and agro-ecological practices. It involves improving and rehabilitating cereal and pulse production, selected small ruminants, apiculture and poultry breeding activities, small-scale irrigation and horticulture production.
The FARM project provides an 18 million euro grant from AFD and a 14-million-euro grant delegated by the EU to AFD.
