NWO Livelihood & Food Security Program aims to improve household food security and create sustainable income opportunities through agriculture, poultry, and livestock development, particularly in underserved communities of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). The program will support vulnerable families, small-scale farmers, women, and youth with practical skills to produce nutritious food, strengthen household livelihoods, and reduce financial vulnerability. Kitchen gardening and crop cultivation will help families meet their dietary needs while creating opportunities to earn income by selling surplus produce.

In agriculture, the program will promote modern, climate-smart farming practices suited to local conditions and available resources. Training will cover seasonal crop selection, soil preparation, composting, efficient irrigation, responsible pest management, and improved harvesting and storage methods. Through practical demonstrations and linkages with agricultural experts and extension services, NWO seeks to help participants improve productivity, reduce losses, and manage small agricultural enterprises.

In poultry and livestock, the program will provide skills in poultry keeping, animal feeding, housing, hygiene, and basic farm management, alongside awareness of animal welfare, disease prevention, and access to veterinary care. Enterprise development guidance will include production costing, financial planning, and marketing, supported by connections with input suppliers, service providers, and local buyers. By combining technical skills with business support, NWO aims to help families diversify their incomes, improve access to food, and build more resilient livelihoods.
