Description

Emergency Agriculture is a vital response to crises, addressing food security and income issues in vulnerable communities. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted economies and food supplies globally, especially impacting low-income populations. THINK GLOBAL promotes Emergency Agriculture through a holistic approach involving rapid, sustainable, and local food production.

This approach aims to bolster food security, economic resilience, and capacity building. Key strategies include distributing Emergency Family Farming Kits with seeds, tools, and training, creating intensive gardens with simple irrigation systems, and providing professional agricultural training. The goal is to empower communities to produce their own food, increasing resilience, and generating income.

Emergency Agriculture is essential not only in rural but also urban areas, where population growth is concentrated. By focusing on high-intensity crops and introducing efficient cultivation techniques, this initiative fights poverty, enhances food security, and promotes local economic development, ultimately fostering self-sufficiency and improving livelihoods.
