Innovative resilient agriculture and vertical farming technology

CDVTA promotes innovative approaches for resilient climate-adapted food systems and vertical farming for improved crop production in rural communities.

To achieve this, CDVTA continues to;

• Strengthen farm management systems as well as promote innovation and adaptation of practices for food security in rural communities.
• Strengthen the bio-cultural-heritage as the basis of local production systems, recognizing the close interdependence between traditional knowledge, biodiversity, landscapes and customary practices.
• Protect farmlands and preserve natural ecosystems
• Help farmers thrive by promoting regional/local economy and transformational activities
• Encourage incentive diverse approaches to sustainable farming
• Promote the use of organic waste to build soils on farms
• Encourage learning and experimentation through adaptive and collaborative systems
• Adapt new technologies like vertical farming to increase agricultural productivity in rural communities
• Strengthen farmers' capacity through promoting skills and knowledge necessary for managing their businesses 
• Improve farmers’ capacities in adapting their activities to climate variation crop and vegetable production
• Assist rural farmers to identify and develop the most suitable farming best-practices
• Promote and support group farming demonstrations for experimentation at community level
• Train farmers and farmer-households on vertical farming technology for innovative sustainable on-farm production of low carbon vegetables for food and income
