Aims / objectives: To introduce farmer groups to sustainable land use practices namely conservation agriculture and evaluate management technologies with farmers in order to come up with best practices that farmer can use. (ii) To demonstrate conservation agriculture technology (iii) To conduct economic analysis of the different patterns of cropping system involvedn i conservatio n agriculture (iv) To prepare work plan for conservation agriculture activities.
Methods: i)Baseline survey conducted consisted of structured questionnaires to gather information demographic socio-economic data of the villages in the study structure and size of the family, age, education of household members, available land and resource endowment (ii) Participatory Rapid Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools were used to collect information from villages in the study area (iii) Both purposive and random sampling techniques were used the villages were purposively sampled and householdswere randomly selected for questionnaire interviews.Pair wise scoring and ranking enabled the analysis of problems hindering adoption land management technologies. (iv) Semi structured interviews were used to get information to key informants Forty plots were established to demonstrate conservation agriculture
Stages of implementation: a)Collecting base line information in eight villages b)Participatory rural appraisal in eight villages to identify problems and gather information on soil conservation techniques. c) Selecting participating farmersd) Setting demonstration plots and planting crops in farmers field e) Conducting training/ field days/ and schools.f).Evaluating the agriculture conservation technology.
Role of stakeholders: a)Farmers/land users set demonstration plots on CA in their own fieldsb)Researchers and Extension staff assisted farmers in setting demonstration plots and follow up of activities

决策是由......做出的
决策是基于
Soil water conservation practices more emphasis was in conservation griculture techniques ( cover cropping, rotation mulching and crop residues.
By farmers, reseacher and extension staff through PRA and on farm demonstration plots
Research was carried out on-farm
土地使用者的劳动力为
farmers obtained appropriate informantion/knowledge and management of conservation agriculture type of seeds of cover crops
Women farmers were impowered with CA technology applied in their plots and recorded improved yields in CA plots compared to traditional system because of goodmanagement
