By matching suitable food crops with the local climate patterns and soil conditions, farmers can maximize their seasonal returns. That’s what we call climate-smart farming!

Why We Chose Cassava? Cassava Was Our First Candidate Food Crop

Apart from needing minimal moisture to flourish, cassava also successfully grows in marginal soils where other crops would not perform well. This ability to grow in poor soils and under dry conditions makes cassava a much better answer to food insecurity than maize and beans. Unlike other crops, cassava farming is cost-effective as it doesn’t require fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
