Under the SPEED Project, OFAO has begun preparing vegetable nursery beds ahead of the seed fair in Mukaya Payam, which is an important first step towards growing healthy vegetable seedlings that will help restore food security and build community resilience.

These nursery beds are more than just a place to grow seedlings but, they are a source of hope for a greener future, healthier ecosystems and stronger livelihoods for the communities we serve.

This initiative is giving local communities a hand in raising vegetable seedlings, practicing climate smart agriculture farming practices, in groups and individual levels and making lasting positive change.
We are sowing the seeds for a more sustainable and resilient South Sudan.
