Our development and research work

Through our work:

  • smallholder farmers are lifted out of poverty; they lose less of their crops to pests and diseases, improve crop quality and yield, and sell their produce for better prices.
  • extension workers can give better advice on agricultural practice
  • researchers and policymakers have the information they need to develop strategies to support agriculture and the environment, and improve livelihoods.
