dc.description.abstractExtension materials facilitated VBA engagement of farmers in rural Tanzania even in informal settings, enhancing information flow beyond village boundaries. Village-based Advisors (VBAs) play important roles in reaching a wide audience of farmers. Project evidence demonstrates uptake of promoted common bean practices by farmers, enhanced by judicious incentives such as higher yields, increased land productivity, and labor-saving. The Africa Soil Health Consortium (ASHC) common bean campaign aimed to scale-up information on proven improved technologies. Findings indicate that VBAs are relevant in scaling-up because of farmer understanding and trust.en
