🌿 Planting drought-tolerant seedlings in 's pasturelands.

Through AKF-supported community collectives, known as Common Interest Groups (CIGs), the seedlings are distributed to farmers to better withstand drought and salinity in the soil, and cultivated into fodder crops for livestock.

This initiative is part of AKF’s efforts to strengthen livestock management and, as a result, build climate and economic resilience in rural Syria.

🤝 In partnership with EU International Partnerships.
