Abstract
99 words
The widespread fragmented adoption of improved soil fertility
management options among smallholder farmers can partly be
attributed to poor diffusion of acquired knowledge. Using
participatory action research approaches, a study was conducted
in eastern Zimbabwe to evaluate potential benefits accrued by
different farmer resource groups participating in integrated soil
fertility management (ISFM) co-learning processes. Preliminary
results indicate that farmers participating in collective action
realized improved grain yields and had ease of access to grain
and fertilizer markets than their non-participating counterparts.
These findings suggest that farmers may stand to benefit from
cumulative economic gains by participating in joint action.
