dc.description.abstractThis study provides a baseline for gauging the entry points on soil and water management research in southern Africa and in the three study countries. It depicts what has worked and what has not worked and why, and sheds light on factors that need to be considered: farming systems, labor availability, cash availability, and ready access to markets for produce. The project has successfully demonstrated that it is possible to nurture functional and effective public-private-farmer partnerships that are beneficial in enabling resource-poor smallholder farmers gain access to markets. Agricultural extension approaches should include farmer participation and farmer field schools.en
