A presentation on SIMLESA’s approaches to supporting adoption.
A report on SIMLESA’s phase I challenges and achievements in preparation for the program’s second phase.
This report describes the concepts of scaling employed in SIMLESA (and which can be replicated with modifications) to similar projects and programs in the region.
Policy lessons for sustainable intensification: At a recent policy forum in Mozambique scientists, agricultural leaders and farmers discussed the implications of 8-years of SIMLESA’s results. The forum highlighted several opportunities and lessons learned from SIMLESA on how to improve farmers’ yields while protecting the environment,
link them to markets and to stimulate the scaling of new farming techniques. Listen to scientists and farmers explain their experiences in the SIMLESA project.
