Nature Positive Food Systems for Climate Change Adaptation (Nature +) in Ethiopia and Kenya

The project aims to improve low-carbon, climate-resilient economies in rural areas of Ethiopia, for the enhanced well-being of communities, especially women, girls, and other vulnerable groups. Nature Positive Food Systems for Climate Change Adaptation (in short: ‘Nature+') is a three-year program to foster nature-positive food systems for enhanced climate change adaptation. Nature+ works in rural landscapes of Ethiopia and Kenya. The proposed physical works will enable more sustainable resource use, prevent overgrazing, control and prevent erosion, promote better water infiltration and collect surface runoff, etc). The proposed physical works include micro dams and mesh gabions, small-scale irrigation systems, farm ponds, gully control, terraces and trenches.
