A key objective is the sustainable commercialization of natural products whilst assuring food security. Using intercropping models and cropping cycles, communities are supported to incorporate natural products into their existing production and income generating activities to ensure year-round income generation. This also helps beneficiaries diversify away from risk and overreliance on traditional sources of income especially as natural products tend to be higher value and more rewarding.
