The project further assesses the impact of recent climate change and drought in certain areas which have caused a shortage of agricultural, livestock products, economic crisis, and unemployment. The project aims to come up with practical solution for households on how to cope up with the crisis and move on to adapting new approaches for cultivation and harvesting for agriculture and similarly for livestock management.
