Company Description
Background
SNV,
in close collaboration with its consortium partners Wageningen
University & Research, CGIAR’s Climate Change, Agriculture &
Food Security program (CCAFS), Agriterra and Rabo Partnership, as well
as value chain partners in several targeted food production and supply
sectors – will promote climate smart agriculture (CSA) as a way to
transform and reorient agricultural systems to the new realities of
climate change. Using an inclusive business development approach for
CSA, the project focuses on arable farming systems in Kenya, Tanzania
and Uganda. The Climate Resilient Agribusiness for Tomorrow (CRAFT)
project is contributing to improved food security by working towards
climate resilient farming systems which increase productivity under
changing climatic circumstances, while reducing food waste and losses
throughout the supply chain. The project is designed for SMEs and
Cooperatives in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania that are active in the
targeted agricultural value chains.

Project Objectives
1. Adoption of climate smart practices and technologies amongst 300,000 farmers
2. Development of inclusive business cases for 50 agri-business SMEs and 30 cooperatives.
3. Climate resilient sustainable food production practiced on 600,000 hectares.
The project is hinged on three key pillars of climate smart agriculture:
• Productivity: sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes.
•
Adaptation: reduce the exposure of farmers and
agri-businesses to short-term risks, while also strengthening their
resilience by building capacity to adapt and prosper in the face of
climatic shocks.
• Mitigation: reduce greenhouse gases emissions, increase water and energy efficiencies.
Climate Innovation and Investment Facility (CIIF) is a fund that is
used by the CRAFT project to identify and support inclusive climate
smart innovative business models that deliver both commercial benefits
for the private sector and developmental benefits for the low-income
population. These ventures have specific focus on small holder farmers
(including women and youth) in the climate smart agriculture food
production and supply improvements.
CRAFT recognizes the
utilization of energy in different forms across agricultural value
chains for irrigation, cooling, drying, and milling among others, and is
considered a key driver influencing agricultural production,
post-harvest handling, processing, and distribution/transportation.
Energy related costs often represent one of the highest agribusiness
operating costs, attributed especially by inefficient energy utilization
and limited adoption of affordable cleaner alternatives across the
agricultural value chain. To be competitive and adapt to the risks
associated with climate change, future agricultural/food systems must be
accompanied by better, cleaner, and more sustainable energy processes.
Increasing the uptake of renewable energy and energy efficiency
solutions in prioritized value chains with focus on the business cases,
is therefore an important element in CRAFT enabling agribusiness
productivity and business improvement.
