Food Security Crops
The food security intervention, NAADS procures and distributes improved planting materials to farmers in the District Local Governments for the major food staple crops for the respective regions of the country, particularly those of quick maturing nature, notably maize and beans. These interventions are aimed at increasing the production and productivity of the various priority crop commodities for improved household food security.
To improve household food security, NAADS supports the production of maize, beans, cassava, banana and Irish potato as well as cowpeas, sorghum and groundnuts through the distribution of seeds and seedlings to farmers.
