To implement the project, Enabling Smallholders to Produce and Consume More Nutritious Food through Agroforestry Systems, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed with the Government of Odisha’s Directorate of Soil Conservation and Watershed Development on 28 February 2018. The project’s target areas in Balangir and Nuapada districts were drought-prone, mainly monoculturally cropped, with resource-poor, small-scale, and marginalized farmers facing the challenges of food and nutritional insecurity and stress migration.
