The event, organized under the Ukama Ustawi Initiative in Ethiopia, showcased the benefits of SSFR in enhancing maize yields and improving soil health. Participants – including farmers, development agents, researchers, and government officials – observed first hand the positive impact of SSFR on crop productivity. The success of the field day is expected to encourage more farmers in the Abeshge District to adopt SSFR for the upcoming season to increase production, soil health and livelihoods.
