Food Security Projects
Multi-year projects funded by Global Affairs Canada
Aligned with the global movement to increase food security by supporting the world’s smallholder farmers, CFTC is executing large-scale agricultural and livelihoods projects in Ghana and Ethiopia.
Building on the success of the Climate Change Adaptation in Northern Ghana Enhanced (CHANGE) project, CFTC has strengthened our food security work by addressing women’s livelihoods, promoting climate-adaptive agricultural production, and boosting community resilience through innovative, community-based and -led training.
Our work supports Global Affairs Canada’s emerging development priorities and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, including Goal #1 – No Poverty; Goal #2 – Zero Hunger, Goal #5 – Gender Equality and Goal #13 – Climate Action.
