The Jordan Farmers Union aims to serve farmers and especially the margins attained by lack of water availability and climate change seem to hit small farmers at its worst.

The project aims at enabling JFU to adopt the General Commission's priorities in meeting members’ needs and defend their benefits.

This objective will be achieved through following activities :
- designing a scientific research study to identify priorities and needs
- conduct research on agricultural statistics
- carry out field survey including a series of 13 regional (branch) workshops in order to get broad input from organized members on problem perception and needs assessment.
- analyse these survey results (desk study)
- report in writing on all final results: scientific research, statistical research as well as workshop survey, and communicate the conclusions thereof to the General Commission.

Projected expenses are covered by proper contribution, services delivery by three local project counterparts, as well as grant requested from Agriterra (45% of total budget).
