Analyse Selected Climate Smart Agri-food Value Chains and Low Carbon Agriculture: Assessing and Documenting Sustainable Agriculture Practices in Egypt, Displaying Success Stories

The project aims to map and characterize climate smart practices adopted by smallholder farmers in these regions. It will identify feasible climate smart value chains for major crops including tomatoes, peppers, sugarcane, and aromatic/medicinal plants. The economic feasibility and investment potential of transitioning to climate smart production models will be evaluated.
