  3. Practical realization of innovative projects at ‘farm level’, targeting primarily smallholder and family farmers, farmer cooperatives, and micro-agri-business, which will allow piloting and demonstrating ways of achieving mitigation, adaptation and where applicable, post COVID-19 “green” transformational recovery pathways.
