- To build a critical cadre of human resource to promote Good Agricultural Practice (GAP)
The GAP Training aims to, at the same time to achieve improved agricultural productivity through access and efficient management of water for irrigation, good agricultural practices, and climate-resilient:
Increased productivity: Produce more and better food to improve nutrition security and boost incomes, and mainly rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.
Enhanced resilience: Reduce vulnerability to drought, pests, diseases and other climate-related risks and shocks; and improve capacity to adapt and grow in the face of longer-term stresses like shortened seasons and irregular weather patterns.
Reduced emissions: Pursue lower emissions for each food produced, avoid deforestation from agriculture and identify ways to absorb carbon out of the atmosphere.
