In line with its commitment to sustainable development, PDC promotes agricultural and livestock practices that enhance food security and improve the livelihoods of rural communities. This includes supporting farmers with improved seeds, tools, and training in sustainable farming techniques, as well as promoting livestock health and productivity through education on animal husbandry and veterinary services.
PDC’s agriculture programs aim to improve crop production by introducing modern farming techniques, enhancing soil fertility, and improving water management to increase productivity while conserving the environment. These initiatives help farmers adapt to climate change and ensure a steady food supply, ultimately strengthening the rural economy and providing more reliable income sources.
The organization also focuses on livestock development, providing training to herders on best practices in animal care and health management. This includes veterinary services to improve livestock health and productivity, ultimately supporting pastoral communities in enhancing their income and resilience to environmental and economic shocks.
Through these integrated programs, PDC empowers rural communities by providing the tools and knowledge necessary to improve agricultural yields and livestock production, fostering economic growth, and contributing to long-term food security across Somalia.
