RySS has engaged AHT GROUP GmbH as Implementation Support Consultant (ISC).

The IGGAARL is building up its research capacity, including establishing a laboratory that can analyse soil and plant samples according to international standards. The APCNF (Andhra Pradesh Community Management Natural Farming Project), implemented by RySS (the Project Executive Agency - PEA for the IGGAARL) has been cooperating with ICRAF on the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework from 2020 to 2022. For this study the soil samples were analysed in ICRAF's world-class soil Spectroscopy Laboratory in Nairobi. ICRAF now supports RySS/IGGAARL with establishing its new Spectroscopy Laboratory to ensure that it will operate according to international standards.
