The increasing impacts of climate change pose significant challenges for smallholder vegetable farmers. Recognizing the need for sustainable solutions, we work with a wide range of partners to accelerate the adoption of climate-resilient horticultural practices.
As part of this effort, we strategically forge partnerships with like-minded organizations that support, complement, and expand the technical approaches we share with farmers and sector professionals.
Our longtime partnership with Wageningen University & Research (WUR) promotes climate-resilient agriculture through joint capacity building, development of extension materials, and implementation of action research. WUR’s deep technical farming expertise informs EWS-KT’s protocols, training programs, and advice to farmers.
Our partnership with Koppert Foundation focuses on strengthening integrated crop management (ICM) approaches to insect pests and diseases, including through action research on nature-based solutions for crop protection in EWS-KT learning farms and demonstration plots.
Our partnership with CABI, a global leader in agricultural research, strengthens education and training opportunities for agriculture sector professionals, enabling widespread utilization of science-based crop knowledge and methodologies that are financially, socially, and environmentally sustainable.
Our partnership with SkillEd extends the reach of our digital education programs through dedicated learning platforms for online and offline use. The VeggieTap and VeggieTap for Africa apps provide guidance to farmers from land preparation to post-harvest handling and are available in multiple languages.
