Sustainably feeding families
Practical agricultural activities that strengthen household food autonomy.
Growing food autonomy
- Train communities in farming methods suited to local conditions.
- Distribute seeds to Pygmy communities.
- Connect farmers with agricultural credit and market opportunities.
Growing crops above ground during conflict
During the 2025–2026 conflict, PPSDR trained women in Goma in above-ground vegetable growing. With urban plots too small for conventional gardens, this approach supports household food security and helps prevent malnutrition.
Step-by-step support
Agricultural support includes seedling nurseries, practical demonstrations, site preparation and gradually building communities’ confidence.
Agriculture in numbers
