Reducing food insecurity through livestock resilience and agriculture

With funding from USAID Food for Peace and in partnership with Adventist Development and Relief Agency and Association Intercooperation Madagascar, ASOTRY was an innovative food security program in Madagascar. Meaning "harvest" in Malagsy, ASOTRY is addressing the underlying causes of food insecurity to improve malnutrition, agricultural productivity, and household resilience. ASOTRY supported vulnerable households in three major areas: improving nutritional status of mothers and children under age five, increasing sustainable access to food, and improving disaster preparedness and natural resource management.  With a focus on the Atsimo-Andrefana region's Betioky and Ampanihy districts, Venture37 led ASOTRY's livestock component.
