The project aims at enhancing the capacities of rural communities to adapt to climate change effects by adopting a comprehensive and integrated approach that aims at various Nexus issues, including ecologically friendly and weather-responsive agriculture, water budgeting to match water availability with demand, "precision farming" that optimises land and water productivity in field conditions, and renewable energy for household cooking and lighting. It also aims at developing practical knowledge, tools and systems that can be widely adopted thus facilitating upscaling.
