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.1 digital file (47 p. : ill.)application/pdfenAGRICULTURAL MARKETSSOIL FERTILITYWATER MANAGEMENTAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONSMALLHOLDERSFERTILIZERSMONITORING AND EVALUATIONMARKET ACCESSFARMER PARTICIPATIONSOUTH OF SAHARAIDRC-Related Report
