Experience of CIMMYT & its partners with two-wheel tractors & other smaller s...
This document summarizes research on the use of two-wheel tractors and other small-scale rural equipment in Africa. It finds that smallholder farming in Africa is increasingly limited by lack of labor and farm power. Two-wheel tractors can help address this by reducing the time needed for land preparation and crop establishment. Studies in multiple countries found that two-wheel tractors saved time and increased yields for crops like maize, wheat, and teff compared to conventional tillage. For commercial viability, the technology needs promotion, access to finance, capacity building, and supportive policies. Small mechanization options beyond two-wheel tractors, like single cob shellers, are also showing promise with the right support.
Chapter 4 production and productivity (revised)
Production involves using resources to make goods and services. There are three main methods of production: job production, flow production, and batch production. Job production makes custom goods to order. Flow production continuously makes identical goods on a moving assembly line. Batch production makes limited quantities of identical goods to meet specific orders. Choosing the appropriate production method impacts costs and efficiency.
APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGIES.pptx
Technology remains embedded in the efficiency of any process. Making any product cost-effective and sustainable invariably requires the involvement of technology. Looking at the extent, length, breadth and depth of the built environment, it becomes essential that appropriate technologies must be embedded in the construction sector, to make it safe, cost-effective, time-efficient, sustainable, minimum consumer of resources and generator of waste. Construction technologies accordingly remains valuable. For making building sustainable, the role of material, men, machinery, cost , resources needs to be examined to ensure that construction sectors remains most qualitative and cost/energy efficient.
