Researchers from CIMMYT’s Sustainable Intensification of Maize and Legume Systems for Food Security in Eastern and Southern Africa (SIMLESA) meet recently at the Second African Congress on Conservation Agriculture in Johannesburg to discuss conservation agriculture systems as the sustainable basis for regional food security. This video provides background on the project which is now in its ninth year.
This video presents the outcomes of the SIMLESA project, featuring interviews with women and men farmers and scientists from four of the seven SIMLESA partner countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
This study of the AIPs showed that both women and men experienced an increase in the yields as a result of better agricultural training.
