Funded by a CAD $20 million grant from Global Affairs Canada, BRAINS focuses on integrating beans, beneficial insects, and fruit trees such as mangoes, citrus, and avocados to transform agriculture in 15 sub-Saharan African countries. The project promotes low-carbon agricultural practices and climate resilience, particularly for women and youth farmers. By facilitating the adoption of participatory climate-smart technologies, BRAINS seeks to empower communities and drive sustainable agricultural development throughout the region.
