DECODI is breaking this cycle through our <strong>Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA)<\/strong> training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women are taught how to grow drought-resistant crops, apply organic compost, rotate crops, and conserve water. These are practical, sustainable methods that not only improve yields but also preserve the environment. Participants also learn post-harvest handling, food storage techniques, and how to access local markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many mothers now grow enough to feed their families and sell surplus for income. This new knowledge leads to better nutrition, improved household incomes, and financial independence. Agriculture, once a burden, becomes a blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I never thought I could feed my family from my garden.
