Building resilient communities through restored landscapes
The Nature+ program is revitalizing food systems and building more resilient communities in a set of natural landscapes in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. The project areas are rich in biodiversity but are greatly threatened by increasing land degradation. They are also places where most people rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.
The Nature+ approach to improved food systems seeks to meet the needs of the land itself, its inhabitants, and the institutions that operate there. Local partners will work with the communities to improve biodiversity and help to manage the landscapes around these farming communities, leading to more resilient livelihoods, improving food security and restoring landscapes for the future. These programs also work to empower women and other vulnerable people, so they can participate and lead in decisions that govern their communities and the landscapes, including long-term policy change.
Implementing Nature+
Nature+ is being implemented by ten local partners, with support from nine Foodgrains Bank member agencies, three supporting organizations, and three technical universities. Global Affairs Canada has committed to supporting three years of funding operations until March 31, 2026.
