The purpose of the Ecofarm is to create an integrated farming system in order to improve the food security of farmers in the drylands. This is done through testing and refining a series of low-cost technologies in order to increase the total production on the farm. The testing is done by the farmers, on their own lands. The final result is that the farmers themselves, after succeeding and/or failing, eventually find the best combination of technologies that will improve their food security. This is of course based on their own economic, natural and human resources as well as the local agro-ecological conditions. The most successful technologies are seed priming (soaking seeds for 8 hours in water prior to sowing) and microdosage of fertiliser. Seed priming and 0.3 g fertilizer per seed pocket increases yields by up to 70 %. The project also includes technologies related to human nutrition (multipurpose trees) and livestock (fodder). |

Since the project was implemented in three different regions in Mali, it is difficult to generalize on the natural environment. All sites are zones where drylans agriculture is possible and practiced, but with the associated problems of for ex low soil fertility.|

There is an increased focus on a multifunctional agriculture which can contribute to reducing poverty, preserving the environment, increasing the adapation capacity to climate change and improve health. The Ecofarm approach has shown that it can contribute to fullfil these objectives and facilitate the transition from an emergency situation to sustainable development in the drylands.   |

The objectives of the Ecofarm approach is to:
1. Increase farmers income
2. Reduce farmers risks
3. Improve human nutrition
4. Preserve the environment.

ការព័ណ៌នាសង្ខេបនៃសកម្មភាពសំខាន់ៗ ទៅតាមទិសដៅរបស់វា

The approach in the ecofarm project to improve nutrition
Increase farmers income through higher crop and livestock productivity
Stimulate cultivation of micronutrient rich crops such as Moringa, baobab, and fruits
Promotion of grain legumes for protein production
Promote milk production |
Reducing farmers risks through diversification of crops, livestock production and increased yields.
Increased livestock production:
More fodder through priming and microfertilization
Improved fodder quality through intercropping and harvesting grains at physiological maturity.
Improved fodder mix|
This is an integrated approach, so the technologies tested contribute to several objectives.
Increasing farmers income through increased yield.
Agricultural technologies:
Microfertilisation
Seed priming
New crops (fingermillet, rice)
Striga resistant sorghum
Conservation tillage
Intercropping|
Preserving the environment
All the technologies are contributing to a sustainable managment of the natural resources and preserves the environment.

The Ecofarm research project is an integrated approach offering a basket of different technologies to the participating farmers. Each farmer makes his or her own choice when it comes to which technologies that are in the end adopted. The multitude of technologies related to agriculture, livestock production and human nutrition mutually reinforces each other in achieving the four objectives. |

The combination of seed priming (soaking seeds in water) and microfertilizer have increased yields by up to 70%
Analysis show that investments in Ecofarm technologies (particularly fertilizers) have a rentability of 20-165 Francs CFA back for each franc CFA invested.
Farmers need less land to cultivate when using Ecofarm technologies.
Evaluations confirm that housholds previously considered as poor, have improved their food security and are now considered as average on a wealth scale.|
Nutrition/human health
The use of Moringa and Baobab leaves (rich in vitamines A and C) are contibuting to improved nutrition and health according to the participating farmers.

សូមពន្យល់ពីហេតុផល:

Soil conservation techniques leads to increased carbon sequestration in soil. If practiced on a large scale it can have a mitigating effect.
The Ecofarm is an integrated approach with a goal to increase farmers adaptive capacities to a changing environment. With simple low-cost technologies local communities in the drylands can move from an emergency situation with little income, malnutrition, a weakened labour force, loss of productive assets and a degraded environment to a situation of sustainable development with more secure income, apropriate nutrition and a sustainable use of natural resources.|
