We piloted citizen science approach for improving food and water security in two districts of Amhara region including the proposed area. We selected grade 9 students and their teachers on soil measurement and ground water level for the predication of available moisture or water in the soil to choose what type of crop that can best fit for existing environmental condition in order to produce increase crop production. Students and farmers get the chance to upgrade and integrate their indigenous knowledge with the existing scientific evidence to apply in their agricultural practice.
