The IDRC-GAC (Global Affairs Canada) project on “Synergizing fertilizer micro-dosing and indigenous vegetable production to enhance food and economic security of West African farmers” project utilized a branded radio program “Ramo Elefo” (or Ramo,
This gender analysis relates to the larger project “Synergizing fertilizer micro-dosing and indigenous vegetable production to enhance food and economic security of West African farmers (CIFSRF Phase 2).” The aim was to understand gender roles th
The report aims to evaluate the impact of MICROVEG intervention, which is being implemented through the Innovation Platform (IP) systems in 51 Local Government Areas/Districts of two countries, Nigeria and Benin.
This annex answers questions that arose from baseline reports regarding: educational level of farmers; land acquisition; land area under vegetable cultivation; current use of fertilizers by farmers and use of irrigation; ease of water supply and a
The new WebGIS platform allows visualization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data compiled from online sources as well project research.
The MICROVEG project synergises innovations from two completed projects, Nigeria-Canada Indigenous Vegetables Project (NiCanVeg) and the Integrated Nutrient and Water Management in the Sahel (INuWaM).
The project developed, tested and deployed two approaches for scaling up fertilizer micro-dosing innovations: the Satellite Dissemination Approach (SDA) and the Innovation Platform (IP).
This trial tested and fine-tuned fertilizer micro-dosing and application (using different rates and time intervals), on the yield and quality of Indigenous vegetables.
Polyphenols are the most prevalent antioxidant phytochemicals with many health benefits ascribed to their use.
