Productivity impact of conservation farming on smallholder cotton farmers in Zambia

Africa’s small farms face shortages of labor, land, animal traction and financing that, together, limit their access to improved technologies. This paper evaluates a series of conservation farming technology packages as possible vehicles for incrementally raising productivity and incomes among resource-poor farm households in Africa. Discussion focuses on asset-poor households in Zambia’s cotton zone, where a majority of farm families till with a hand hoe and where conservation farming is most well established and best suited agronomically.
