Designing Farms that Survive Floods, Drought, and Salt.
Resilience Design is Shaqodoon's principle-based approach to rebuilding farming systems in fragile, climate-stressed communities across the Horn of Africa, using local resources, water flow, and native vegetation.
The problem we are designing for:
Riverine Somalia faces compounding climate shocks: Gu and Deyr flooding, sand encroachment, soil salinity, and recurrent drought. In one village we work in, sand dunes moved from three kilometers away to just sixty meters from people's homes in fifteen years. Farms are failing. Communities are responding. We design with them.
