The region of Behara, located in the district of Amboasary Sud, faces considerable challenges due to inconsistent rainfall. The Grand South region of Madagascar, is experiencing one of the worst droughts in the last 40 years, leading to a severe humanitarian crisis. Crop failures have left about 75% of the population of Amboasary Atsimo – a town of almost 50.000 people – in severe hunger. Now, the inhabitants heavily depend on food aid to survive but there is hope for some in the form of a biofortified crop.
