FAO believes that the project will result in more than 2,160 farmers trained in NERICA crop production technology, with a total of 72 Farmer Field Schools established in nine districts. According to FAO's Senior Agronomist for NERICA, Ram Chaudhary, the project will also help authorities formulate a national programme for extension of the adoption of improved rice/NERICA-based farming systems and enhance government capacities for seed quality analysis, quality control and certification.
Pour atteindre cet objectif et augmenter la production alimentaire et les revenus des familles, M. Shivaji Pandey, Directeur de la Division de la FAO pour la production et la protection des plantes, confirme que la FAO maintient le cap sur le renforcement des capacités locales à formuler des programmes de sécurité alimentaire dans les zones rurales.
