Introducing the CIRNA Project: Advancing Sustainable Farming in East Africa
Smallholder farmers are at the heart of food security in East Africa. Yet, they face growing challenges from climate change, limited access to fertilizers, and health risks associated with poor manure management.
The CIRNA Project (Circularity of Nutrients in Agroecosystems and Co-Benefits for Animal and Human Health) is a groundbreaking initiative designed to address these issues. By enhancing nutrient circularity, mitigating environmental impacts, and promoting safer practices, CIRNA aims to empower farmers with sustainable solutions that support ecological farming, improve livelihoods, and foster resilience.
