Sudan: Increasing Human Resilience to Climate Variability and Change in the Agricultural Sector in El Fashir, North Darfur
Last Updated: Nov 27, 2007

A community began a project focused on trus cultivation (a type of traditional water conserving on farmlands), magun cultivation (a type of seed sowing that enables plants to survive in the face of sand encroachment), use of home gardens, and shifting cultivation. Since 1998, the Intermediate Technology Development Group has contributed funds and support for this community project.
