Problem addressed
The innovation addresses climate change impacts on agriculture in Guadeloupe (droughts, floods, heat stress, soil erosion etc.) by supporting projects on water management, climate-resilient crops, agroforestry, and smart farming technologies. Its objective is to solve the funding gap for local, tailored adaptation solutions.
