Presentation Transcript

  1. Improved crop-livestock management systems for enhanced smallholder income and nutrition N. Karbo (Chairman) R. Abaidoo E.O. Otchere G. Gamor H. Abu • S.S. Buah (secretary) • M.S. Abdulai • M. Abdulai • Ben. Alenyorege • Dzormeku

  2. Hypothesis 1 • Adoption of biophysical technologies under favourableinstitutional arrangement will lead to intensification and sustainable increase in crop-livestock productivity at farm household level (aligned to AR hypothesis 2) Hypothesis 2 • Improved processing of crop-livestock products will enhance product utilization, quality nutrition and household incomes (aligned to AR hypothesis 1). • Two research hypothesis

  3. Inventory of existing technologies to select best-bet technologies • Integrated Pests management (IPM) to minimize pesticide and environmental degradation • Integrated soil fertility management - Evaluate new fertilizer formulation for enhanced soil water and fertilizer use efficiency - crop residue and manure management for increase farm productivity. • Activities for Hypothesis 1

  4. Inventory and promotion of appropriate land preparation methods (no-tillage animal traction etc) • Integrated housing and feed gardens for improved health and manure production • Activities for Hypothesis 1

  5. Inventory, evaluation and promotion of the most efficient existing processing technologies • Introduction, evaluation and promotion of food commodities (crop and livestock) • Strengthening community seed production systems (food-feed crops, vegetables etc). • Formation of farmers’ business groups and reactivation of existing groups. • Train on improved food utilization for nutrient retention and bioavailability • Activities for Hypothesis 2

  6. Planning year 2 (hypothesis 1)
