Abstract
108 words
In this paper we report on findings from a co-learning experience
we undertook with smallholder farmers in two areas in
Zimbabwe aimed at developing their capacity to apply integrated
soil fertility management (ISFM) options to improve food
security. We were interested in improving farmers’
understanding of ISFM and its practices. Constraints to
increased productivity were common in the two areas and
included poor soils, high costs and poor access to mineral
fertilizers, low availability of organic nutrient resources and poor
market access for both inputs and outputs. Through this work,
policy guidelines to improve smallholder farmers to access and
use the various sustainable farming technologies are being
drafted.
