The priority of the project is to provide ?Food Security? for the direct beneficiaries and thereafter to duplicate the benefits to the rest of the surrounding communities in East Are?are who are also affected by the continuous rain conditions.
The project will concentrate on exploring new crops and expanding and retaining the best local ones that resists continuous rain. It will involve training of community subsistence villagers/farmers to know how to utilize their land and minimize or evade new forest clearing every time they cultivate. They will be shown how to manage their land and see which farming methods are appropriate and on which type of soil.

Objectives:

1. New crops resilient to continuous wet conditions learnt and introduced
2. Local and familiar crops such as bananas and swam-taro which are known to grow in wet conditions are improved and expanded.
3. Variety of food crops are introduced hence provided choices rather than restricting to imported and less healthy food.
4. Learning packages are kept by the Training Centre (Agriculture Dept) and duplicated to other students coming to the Centre to be trained on latter.
5. Capacity of TTC Centre enhanced through these introduced learning curricular that meet the local need.
6. Communities are trained on how to manage and utilise their farm/garden lands from exploiting it through subsistence farming that destroys the forest quickly

Project components:

? Identification of current local crops that resist continuous rain is conducted.
? Soil management and farming techniques that reduces continuous forest exploitation is conducted. Identification of new crops that would suit wetlands and continuous rain is identified.
? Practical training on how to cultivate the new crops is conducted.
? Farmlands suitable for certain crops are identified, cleared and planted, this would mean an estimated one hectare of land will be allocated for each type of crop. These patches will be used for training and crop transfers for farmers after training.

Expected outputs

The people will be more concerned and appreciate the environment and its ecosystem where most of these rural people depend on for survival. Informed people (partners/communities) would have a moral obligation to preserve their environment.

A healthy lifestyle is practiced resulting in less experiences of non-communicable diseases.

Continuousness of fertility land for gardening and farming.
