2. SLM方法的描述

2.1 该方法的简要说明

This is a collaborative process between researchers and farmers for developing and adapting new technologies that focus on incorporating the perspectives and inputs from the farmers into the development process.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Aims / objectives: (1)To stimulate active farmer participation in the technology development process so that local conditions and perspectives are integrated in the process. (2)Build the capacity of farmers to identify problems and contribute to selecting/improving technology options. (3) Raise farmers’ yields in a sustainable manner and ultimately contribute to increased net farm income.

Methods: A series of on-farm experiments are set up to test a range of technology options. These trials are implemented by the farmers so that vital feedback on which technology works and why it does so is collected. Suggestions for improvements are also collected, reviewed and incorporated into new designs or all together new technologies developed. The process is repeated until spontaneous adoption is evident before the technologies are promoted widely.

Stages of implementation: (1) Preparation of trial protocols for technologies to be tested (2) Identification of farmers and mobilization into farmer groups (3) Capacity building and increasing the knowledge base of farmers to effectively participate and contribute to development process. (4) Setting up of on-farm trials (5) Monitoring trials and collecting data/feedback from farmers (6) incorporation of feedback into technology development process and conducting on-station trials (7) technologies adapted or developed and introduced and the process is repeated.

Role of stakeholders: The approach was designed by national specialists where ‘best-bet’ technologies were pre-selected for testing. The role of GART was that of research and training of trainers. The supervision of the farmers was carried out by government extension workers who were supervised by the researchers and GART field technicians. The farmers implemented the approach and the decision on which technology to adopt was made by them. The land users also participated in evaluating the technologies and made suggestions on possible improvements. The decision on how best to consolidate these suggestions and incorporate them into the technologies was made by the specialists in consultation with the land users.

2.7 方法的类型

  • 基于项目/方案

2.8 该方法的主要目的/目标

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (Increasing agricultural productivity, improving livelihoods )

(1)To stimulate active farmer participation in the technology development process so that local conditions and perspectives are integrated in the process. (2)Build the capacity of farmers to identify problems and contribute to selecting/improving technology options. (3) Raise farmers’ yields in a sustainable manner through technology innovation and ultimately contribute to increased net farm income.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Unsustainable farming practices leading to environmental degradation and low agricultural productivity

2.9 推动或妨碍实施本办法所适用的技术的条件

社会/文化/宗教规范和价值观
  • 阻碍

The participation of women not as much as that of men

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Women headed households were identified and targeting for inclusion in the project

财务资源和服务的可用性/可得性
  • 阻碍

The short cycle of projects and funding that made long-term planning difficult

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Collaborate with government structures and extension service to ensure sustainability of the project

机构设置
  • 阻碍

Weak collaboration between organizations promoting conservation agriculture (CA) leading to mixed messages being delivered to farmers

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Formation of the Conservation Farming Association (CAA) to synchronise messages and avoid duplication of efforts

法律框架(土地使用权、土地和水使用权)
  • 阻碍

Lack of secure land tenure leading to hesitancy to invest in long-term conservation efforts

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Emphasise the short-term benefits of conservation

The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights moderately hindered the approach implementation Lack of secure land tenure discourages land user from seeking long-term conservation efforts

了解SLM,获得技术支持
  • 阻碍

The failure of rural workshops to produce and supply the necessary equipment for the implementation of the approach

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Collaboration was initiated with mainstream equipment suppliers

其他
  • 阻碍

Low returns from the sale of the staple crop (maize) and hence low returns to farming general

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Encourage crop livestock integration and promote crop diversification

6. 影响分析和结论性陈述

6.1 方法的影响

该方法是否帮助土地使用者实施和维护SLM技术?:
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

The farmers that adopted the Magoye Ripper were ploughing (pulverising) less thereby reducing erosion and loss of organic matter. However, some of the technologies have not been adopted on a wide enough scale to create an impact at community level. Even the farmers that did not adopt the technologies are now more aware of the need for soil conservation.

该方法是否有助于社会和经济弱势群体?:
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

HIV/AIDS affected families and female headed households were specifically targeted

该方法是否改善了阻碍SLM技术实施的土地使用权/用户权问题?:
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

Apart from lobbying policy makers, issues of land tenure were beyond the scope of the approach The problem is likely to be overcome in the near future. The problem has been acknowledged by politicians and addressed in the new draft constitution

Did other land users / projects adopt the Approach?
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

On-farm research has been adopted by the Conservation Farming Unit (CFU) who are the biggest player in promotion of Conservation Agriculture in Zambia. There are not many other research organizations in Zambia

Did the Approach lead to improved livelihoods / human well-being?
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

Increased income and improved food security, less labour constraints and more time for other economic activities

Did the Approach help to alleviate poverty?
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

Increased income and improved food security, less labour constraints and more time for other economic activities

6.2 土地使用者实施SLM的主要动机

  • 增加生产
  • 增加利润(能力),提高成本效益比
  • 减少工作量
  • 环境意识

6.3 方法活动的可持续性

土地使用者能否维持通过该方法实施的措施(无外部支持的情况下)?:
若是,请说明如何维持:

Adoption rates for Conservation Agriculture are still fairly low indicating that the practice is still fairly new and the technologies still need to be adapted and refined to suit local conditions. The farmers still need technical support until the bottlenecks with the practices are addressed and there is evident spontaneous adoption. This all depends on how well research and planners respond to the current challenges.

6.4 该方法的长处/优点

土地使用者眼中的长处/优势/机会
Farmers well informed of current developments and technology advancements (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Training farmers on current developments and technology advancements)
编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会
Farmers organizations strengthened (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Capacity building)

(How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Increase the farmers knowledge base to ensure effective participation)

6.5 该方法的弱点/缺点以及克服它们的方法

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的弱点/缺点/风险 如何克服它们?
Too little emphasis on knowledge transfer and too much on practical demonstrations and ‘how-to’ training. Focus more on understanding principles and technology selection
