About the CLCA project

The project “Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use and Soil Fertility in NEN and LAC Countries” has been designed to combine an adaptive research program, including integrated capacity development, with the active development of a delivery mechanism for CLCA systems to serve as impact accelerators in both targeted regions.

The project is led by the International Center for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) in collaboration with The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and local partners in North-Africa and Latin America.
