Strengthening Food Security with Crop Diversification

This program focuses on “Crop Diversification,” briefly explaining why it is important for smallholder farmers to manage a variety of crops instead of concentrating on just one. Crop diversification is essential for increasing food security and income. The benefits discussed include increased income from diverse harvests, reduced risk of crop failure if one type of crop is affected by disease or weather changes, and improved nutrition for farming families through a variety of food crops.

Furthermore, the program addresses smallholder farmers who are interested in enhancing food security and family well-being through crop diversification, as well as farming communities seeking ways to minimize the risk of crop failure and increase their income.

Guests in the program: 

  • Mr. Asam, as the Coordinator of the Pasirkaliki Village Seed Garden, Karawang.
