Land, Crop, Seed & Livestock Development
The objective of the improved land, crop and livestock husbandry component is:
Increased production & productivity from farming – crop and livestock – based on sustainable and environmentally sound management of the natural resource base, through linked packages of agricultural production interventions.
Specifically the component will include the following aspects:
- Increasing awareness, knowledge and skills on improved LM&CF technologies and practices
- Promoting adaptive research trough e.g. farmer trials and an ASP research fund
- Promoting increased security in land tenure, e.g. training of local leadership on land tenure and linkages to democracy and human rights, assisting communities in lobbying and advocacy for improved security of land tenure and facilitating the development of community land use plans
- Increasing livestock production and productivity, through e.g., encouraging fodder banks for pasture management and fodder grass production, facilitating introduction and access of improved and appropriate breeds (including links to breeders and livestock suppliers), training in livestock management, and facilitating adoption of appropriate supplementary feeding technologies
- Promoting increased and diversified crop production, through e.g., encouraging growing of high value crops, organic produce and others
- Promoting HIV/Aids coping strategies, such as labour saving techniques and production of nutritious foods for a nutritious diet.
