The risk management project: improving options for resource poor farmers in drought prone areas of southern Africa
The goal of the CIMMYT-AusAID-ACIAR Risk Management Project is to increase the productivity and sustainability of smallholder maize-based farming systems in southern Africa by speeding the adoption of productivity-enhancing, resource-conserving practices in rainfed, drought-prone areas. As part of this, it is helping farmers, extension workers, researchers, and policymakers to understand the performance of different crop and resource management strategies under scenarios of climatic risk. The Project ultimately aims to expand farmers' soil fertility and resource management options, with special attention to those that can help maintain production under even the harshest conditions.
