Climate-smart farming boosts forests and food security in Madagascar

In Madagascar, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and Conservation International have implemented a USD 19.3 million climate-smart agriculture program to help farmers adapt to climate change. The program, which received USD 18.5 million in GCF financing, has successfully improved food security and reduced deforestation by introducing drought-resistant crops, mulching techniques, and native fruit trees. The project has shown measurable improvements in farmer food security and is expected to benefit nearly 24,000 people while helping conserve the Ankeniheny-Zahamena and Ambositra-Vondrozo forests.
