Innovations to improve systems and wellbeing

  1. Drylands are hard environments with high risks poor farmers with low incomes, weak access to technologies, complex, ex- tensive and diversified farming system. The research chal- lenges are: i) how do improve the systems and wellbeing of population; ii) What kind of technologies or innovations and; iii) What kind of approaches should be used. • baCkground Develop improved cropping systems to improve agricultural productivity and resilience to risks. Develop affordable options to improve the management of soil and water the soil fertility Tools and methods for restoration of degraded lands Tools and methods for system analysis • objeCtives • Implementation of field experiments • Critical review and workshop on successful experiences of restoration of degraded lands in West Africa Sahel. • Training workshop on system modeling. • methodology Field experiments on intercropping or rotation of millet-cow- pea-tree cropping on soil and productivity Long-term fertility experiment on cropping systems Literature review of experiences of restoration of degraded lands in West Africa Sahel (WAS) Workshop on of restoration of degarded lands in WAS Training on APSIM model. • aCtivities • Identification of management that improved the producti- vity of cropping systems. • Identification of 18 successful experience of restoration of degraded lands • 20 participants trained on APSIM model. • results and main aChievements • Current partnerships and future engagements for out sCaling Interesting achievements and strategic orientations on system analysis and restoration of degraded land have been initiated. More interesting perspectives are expected in 2016 with new project obtained from EU. Partnership and synergies are ini- tiated with PRODAF (funded by IFAD in Niger). • ConClusions • Current partnership with INRAN, INERA and ProDAF (funded by IFAD). • Engagement for collaborative work of scaling is initiated with PRODAF.
