dc.description.abstractA rhizobium inoculant converts nitrogen from the air into a form legumes can use, improving soil fertility, while maximizing plant growth and yields. Improved legume varieties, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, high-quality seeds, and fertilizers can increase yields, reduce production costs, and enhance nutrition. This brief outlines information campaigns and other activities to increase farmers’ awareness of agricultural innovations. Efforts are underway to harness the power and reach of radio and other media to spread word of these technologies to 500,000 farming families in the Northern and Southern Highlands of Tanzania.en
