dc.description.abstractGambian women farmers acquired moringa cultivation training along with utilization of appropriate technologies, subsequently integrating these into their farming systems. The moringa-horticulture-livestock integration scheme increased income generation from sales of animal products, improved food and feed supply along with in-situ production of organic manure, while reducing costs of production and creating positive impacts on soil and water systems. Networks that could enhance the scheme’s gains were established. The project demonstrates the importance of research and technology development on the empowerment process of women, who benefitted from skills training, and increased income and food security.en
