dc.description.abstractStarting with a few dozen innovations that could collectively address multiple needs of the community, sustainable agriculture kits (SAK) provide a menu of innovations that are tested for adoption by smallholder farmers to reduce drudgery, increase farm productivity and improve lives. Affordability is key to maintaining demand that will sustain distribution channels even in rural markets. The innovations are mostly small and portable, usable even on small and narrow strips of land on terrace farms. The SAK approach uses farmer participation to identify what is most useful and then engages local private entrepreneurs to ensure efficient and affordable supply.en
