dc.descriptionThis work was carried out with the aid of a grant from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and with financial support from the Government of Canada, provided through Global Affairs Canada (GAC)en
dc.description.abstractA sustainable agriculture kit (SAK) consists of 3 components: locally approved seeds; low cost tools and technologies (focused on reducing female drudgery); and an agricultural extension picture book to communicate best agronomic practices (indigenous and scientific) to empower illiterate farmers. The picture book is open access and will be available online at www.SAKNepal.org. Local vendors/ distributors have been identified, and the scaling up process has begun. The poster depicts components of the project so that interrelationships between aspects of the research and its implementation can be made and shared for training purposes.en
