Supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of the US government’s Feed the Future initiative, the Africa RISING project is working to create opportunities for smallholder farm households to move out of hunger and poverty through sustainable intensified farming systems that improve food, nutrition, and income security.

This seven minute video showcases how the project interventions are improving the lives of farmers in northern Ghana.
