Kerry and Concern Worldwide have announced that nearly 500 farmers have been trained over the last year with their partnership in Niger through the Realigning Agriculture to Nutrition (RAIN) programme.
RAIN focuses on improving food and nutrition security while enhancing the livelihoods of the most vulnerable households in Tahoua, a region in the south of Niger.
As part of the programme farmers are trained in climate smart agriculture techniques, which includes promoting water conservation and improving soil protection.
