Project Juriya (Resilience) – Promoting sustainable livelihoods for rural and peri-urban communities through regenerative agriculture

Sa’l Anwara’l Ju’Mai Consultaire Limited (SCL) believes in a future where agriculture sustains communities, supports livelihoods, and protects the planet. SCL runs a Farm-Farmer School located in the heart of the over 100-hectare farm, which affords them the environment to keep trainees in situ. At the same time, they learn and practice the principles of regenerative agriculture for effective extension service delivery and handholding of our regenerative-agriculture-adopting communities.

SCL also train youths and women on entrepreneurship in general and livestock-based vocational enterprise development specifically, thereby building local capacities in sustainable and profitable fish, poultry, and livestock farming ventures as well as in crop production, processing and marketing of agro-produce.

The five-year project is being implemented in three Nigerian States: Adamawa, Kaduna, and Nasarawa. The program, which uses the SCL system of Regenerative Agriculture Integrated Crops, Trees, and Livestock (RAICTL), has an outreach target of 504,360 and a Youth in Work target of 378,270 (70% being female)
