87 CA-3-A032041001 2025-03-04T06:33:31 Promoting Sustainable Agriculture in Borno State The Promoting Sustainable Agriculture in Borno State (PROSAB) project aims to improve the livelihoods of resource poor farmers and their income generating capabilities through interventions that increase agricultural productivity while reducing environmental and land degradation. The project's objectives are to: a) increase the sustainable agricultural productivity of male and female farmers; b) improve access of male and female farmers to agricultural input and output markets; c) reinforce policies for the sustainable management of land, crops, and livestock; and, d) strengthen the capacities of project partners in the implementation of project activities. The PROSAB team has built partnerships with the Borno State Agriculture Development Program in charge of extension services, the University of Maiduguri (the capital of Borno State), and the Community Research for Empowerment and Development, a local non-governmental organization. The PROSAB team uses a participatory approach in the mobilization of communities in order to engage them fully in the success of this initiative. The project is expected to improve food security and to reduce environmental degradation in Borno State.
