1.4 SLM技术问卷的参考

2.1 该方法的简要说明

Improving farmers' access to minimum tillage tools is an approach to increasing the adoption of conservation agriculture (CA) through linking them to institutions that fabricate the tools.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Using minimum tillage tools in land preparation, planting, and weed management helps to achieve the principle of minimal soil disturbance in conservation agriculture (CA). However, one of the main challenges facing the adoption of minimum tillage is the high cost of minimum tillage tools. In this approach, the ProSoil project sought to overcome the challenges of accessibility to and high cost of minimum tillage tools. GIZ through Gesellschaft für Agrarprojekte in Übersee (GFA) collaborated with the County Departments of Agriculture’s Agricultural Technology Development Centers (ATDCs) to train local artisans (welders) on how to fabricate minimum tillage tools at reduced cost and ensure easy access. Currently, the farmers can order hand-held minimum tillage tools such as jab planters, hand-held scrapers, shallow weeders, hand-held subsoilers, animal draft power (ADP) subsoilers, ADP rippers, and chaka hoes from ATDCs and local fabricators at reduced costs. In addition, farmers with large pieces of land can hire heavy minimum tillage implements from ATDCs at affordable rents. The project has also partnered with the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) to ensure continuous research on the minimum tillage tools and how to improve them based on the different farm settings.

To increase knowledge about minimum tillage, GFA facilitated local community-based organizations to train farmers on the importance of minimum tillage and how to use minimum tillage tools. In Gem Yala area of Siaya County, Kenya, GFA partnered with Rural Energy and Food Security Organization (REFSO) to offer these pieces of training to the farmers through their groups and link them to local manufacturers. Each group consisted of about 25 farmers of which at least 30% were women. The trainings take place at designated venues in localities that are easily accessible by farmers from different locations.

Farmers like this approach because they have been linked to the manufacturers of the tools and have had their capacity built on how to use the tools. They are therefore able to access the tools easily and at affordable prices. They are also motivated to adopt minimum tillage after having benchmarked in other farms are seen how minimum tillage has improved production.
