The Support to Able-bodied Vulnerable Groups to Achieve Food Security Project (SAFE)

Abstract

The SAFE project aims to enhance food security through groundnut production by improving crop productivity, diversifying income regimes, and strengthening local institutions. The project used a farmer field school approach in where each school had between 20 and 30 members, who were mostly women since groundnuts are usually the responsibility of women. The project is slowly encouraging farmers to switch production from tobacco to groundnut.
