活动: Symposium on Best Practices in Sustainable Agriculture (2019-02-12)

Session:  Evidenced-based practices are needed to build trust and to close the agricultural technology gap as a means of improving livelihoods and self-support among rural small-scale farmers. The approach is as well a documented step-by-step guide on how organizations working with small-scale farmers can transfer various technologies aiming at improving the food and nutrition security and income of poor small scale farmers in the Global South. Why do so many agricultural development projects generate so little impact among rural farmers?  Why are so many improved agricultural technologies developed but not adopted by small scale farmers? The paper also shares about the work done in Singida with McKnight Foundation deals with Farmers Research and Networking which portrays a reality of scaling up of diverse interventions, in collaboration with Sokoine University Agriculture (SUA).
