    Project Narrative

    Our vision is to provide a better life for farm families by increasing income, improving food conditions and nutrition and therefore reducing poverty for the Awi people of Injibara in Northern Ethiopia. Project staff work with farmers and government agriculturalists to identify and propagate local plants to be used for food, animal forage, timber, firewood and other needs. Trials are also conducted on non-local plants that have the potential to yield useful products.
