The Hungarian government has launched a series of projects under the Hungary Helps banner designed to provide sustainable farming technologies to communities living in areas threatened by desertification.
Tristan Azbej, the state secretary overseeing the program, said climate change was badly impacting the biosphere of Africa’s Sub-Saharan region, while the technologies offered through the Hungary Helps scheme could help slow down those trends.
The Hungary Helps schemes are part of the Great Green Wall program aimed at assisting over 250 million people living in the region. This was launched through a cooperation of 20 countries with a view to setting up drought-tolerant vegetable cultures in Africa, Azbej noted.
