Increase training and Limit introduction of non-native species and seeds. Train farmers in basic techniques of sustainable agriculture, such as improving soil health, integrated pest management (IPM), ISFM, “sustainable intensification”, and crop rotation. Provide extension services and training in climate-smart ISFM. IFDC will develop integrated climate smart agricultural (CSA) practices related to improving soil fertility and stability, and that reduce erosion and the loss of nutrients. IFDC will budget funds to mitigate climate related risks. USAID/WA will work with IFDC to build climate change mitigation activities in its YR1 work plan. Ensure that climate-smart, ISFM practices are incorporated in CORAF’s efforts of national agricultural research systems
