Chronic hunger has a devastating impact on families mental physically health and creates a dire cycle of disadvantage.
We are committed to exploring new ways to increase agricultural production by Yemeni households and communities. We know that with even basic skills and knowledge people have a chance to grow their own food. New innovative agricultural technologies have the potential to feed everyone, everywhere continuously with nutritious food. Knowledge of such technologies new to be made available and accessible.
Our work focuses of developing digital learning content and support that can empower Yemenis to grow their own food and escape poverty. Our vision that technologies such insect farming and hydroponic farming helps families to create secure food sources, create jobs, diversify livelihoods, and improve nutrition.
Advancing education and support of new innovative agricultural technologies cam help households and communities become food secure. Such technologies require limited resources such as water and arable land and can reduce the country's dependency on expensive imports. Our action labs are exploring how we can diffuse such knowledge in ways that reach Yemenis.
