CIRD develops and implements agricultural productivity and quality improvement projects to raise food security, quality, and safety. On-farm research, training and dissemination of innovations are our key methodological processes. CIRD advocates the government and its development partners to invest in agriculture in the ways that promote food sovereignty through an agroecological approach with crop intensification and diversification, effective water management and eco-friendly land-use. This will help to foster a sustainable agriculture system compatible/consistent with the current environment and conservation policy and climate change adaptation.
