BUCRA Impact Cluster

BUCRA Impact Cluster

We are proud to be part of the BUCRA Impact Cluster in Qahbunah, a farming community in Sharkiya, Egypt.

Today, local farmers in the Nile Delta are facing major challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, salinization and land fragmentation.

BUCRA (Arabic: بكرة, meaning “tomorrow”) aims to prepare the Egyptian agricultural sector for the future by introducing climate-resilient farming methods and ensuring stable incomes for local farmers.

The project, funded by the Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, has eight main partners: NABC (project coordinator), SkillEd, FutureWater, Witteveen+Bos, Delphy, Sanable Group, Mozare3 | مُزارع, and Buzoor.

SkillEd’s task will be to develop digital training for farmers in Qahbunah and the surrounding communities, as well as a helpful app for assessing soil quality, irrigation advice and recommendations for climate-resilient crops.
