Presented By: Neil Rowe Miller

Event: ECHO East Africa Biennial Symposium 2023 Sustainable Agriculture Best Practices (23/02/2023)

Session: Conservation Agriculture (CA) provides clear soil conservation benefits, but meta-analyses from across sub-Saharan Africa indicate that CA on its own only provides a small increase in yields – not enough for most farmers to overcome food insecurity in the short term. Taking a more holistic food systems approach to CA adoption, however, can result in much more significant increases in production, and dramatic improvements in food security even in the short term. This presentation will outline learnings from the Foodgrains Bank network in their nearly 2 decades of experience promoting CA and will focus on their ‘CA Plus’ model.
