The women in kunting (Central River Region North) make their nursery in preparation for dry season production.
The process of preparing the land and the irrigation of the soil during the dry season helps to keep the temperature of the soil well regulated, which could have been affected by extreme climate conditions such as heat waves during the dry season.
Dry-season farming also helps to preserve and improve the nutrient through crop rotation i.e planting a variety of crops during the wet season and another during the dry season.
The Roots Project supports women with seeds, inputs, and agronomic practices to improve their production and income.
ROOTS has supported six community gardens (Kanuma, Yalal Tankonjala, Kerewan Sitakoto, Kunting, Sololo Mandinka, and Sutukoba) with fourteen different seeds (onion, cabbage, green pepper, eggplant, bitter tomato, pepper, tomatoes, carrot, etc.) for dry season production.
The Project in collaboration with DoA is providing them with agronomic support through the Farmer Field Schools approach.
