About the project

Born out of a desire to work with and support smallholders and fishing communities across Eastern Madagascar, Voa Aina aims to establish climate-resilient agroecosystems that foster sustainable food production for local communities.

In the Fianarantsoa and Antsiranana provinces, smallholder farmers and fishing communities are working together. Both regions have been subject to degradation, with the formerly forested areas in Fianarantsoa turning to grassy savannah (due to bush fires) and the mangrove forests of Antsiranana disappearing. 

The Voa Aina project, a Climate Lab initiative, works hand in hand with the local smallholder farmers and communities to restore these ecosystems, in turn supporting sustainable food production.
