dc.description.abstractThe project results include a 768% increase in average land area under vegetable production in Nigeria and 161% in Benin. People farther away from a water source, and therefore less likely to grow vegetables were able to increase their farm size by over 350% (0.02 ha to 0.71ha). Production of indigenous vegetables doubled as a result of fertilizer micro-dosing and incomes increased more than three-fold. The project worked with nearly 340,000 farmers to demonstrate that cooperation with various players in the value chain is the most effective way to scale up.en
