Improved Production Practices and Technologies.

  • Improved Production Practices and Technologies

TwitterFacebookLinkedIn

We introduce farmers to good agricultural practices (GAPs), production and post-harvest technologies, and information for sound farm management and financial decisions. We use repeated demonstrations to show marginal rates of return, motivating farmers to incrementally ‘climb the adoption ladder’ from GAPs to low-cost technology to higher-cost inputs and assets. We also connect farmers to digital platforms that allow them to receive real-time weather alerts and pricing information on their mobile devices.
