The purpose of the agriculture programs is to improve food security and livelihood within
the target communities. The organization through its agricultural development programs
has designed training and development programs that are not only meant to improve the
production yield for crop farming through irrigation and improvement of animal production
for the pastoralist community living in the area. The organization through its agricultural
program seeks to enhance the production of subsistence crops such as bananas, rice
among other. The organization through various programs ensures that training will be
done on new methods of farming, after production storages and marketing for more
profitability.
The Strategic Interventions in the Agricultural Development Program:

- Support farmers with farming inputs (fertilizers and seedlings)
- Train the local community in value addition to their produce
- Train the local community in land use maximization and utilization to improve livelihood
- Train in crop irrigation and water conservation to increase food production and attain food security
- Dig more boreholes and provide more water for irrigation
