Working to Keep our People and our Planet Safe

Sustainable agriculture represents a cornerstone of worldwide efforts to preserve the planet’s fast-declining natural resource base. At the heart of this development response, is the Safe Agriculture for Farmers in Egypt (SAFE) Project’s commitment to supporting more environmentally, socially and economically viable options of food and livelihood security.

 

SAFE adopts an agro-ecology approach to sustain agricultural production, small farming communities, and environmental health.

 SAFE targets small-scale farmers in Upper Egypt. They are empowered with information and encouraged by

example, to apply ecologically compatible and locally responsive water and soil management practices.

 

This leads to reduction in  dependence on external production inputs, and encourages the farmers

to experiment with environmentally-friendly local resources.


SAFE is also committed to strengthening its partnerships with established Farmer NGOs. Through collective action, Farmer NGOs act as vehicles for the expression of farmer interests and rights.


Abdel Wahab El-Rekabi is a 35 year old farmer from Qena.
