Completed Most farmers in sub-Saharan Africa farm 'organically' because they cannot afford artificial chemical inputs and/or are beyond the reach of market networks, including government extension, because of barriers of inaccessibility or illiteracy . This is particularly true among women farmers, the farming majority of this region. Research on 'indigenous' agricultural change confirms that adaptation often occurs without the use of chemical inputs.

Completed The objective of the project is to improve the quality of agricultural and aquacultural yields for small-scale farmers.
