EcoSave

EcoSave: EcoSave is a community level climate smart agriculture (CSA) intervention project that promotes adoption of regenerative agriculture and soil health management. The project complements local knowledge with modern soil science approaches to develop a contextualized understanding of conservation agriculture.

The project promotes climate smart agriculture adoption and enhances knowledge on good agricultural practices that complement local knowledge which largely influences how smallholder farmers interpret soil and plant health through crop performance, soil consistence, moisture content, erosion, colour and structure. However, farmers have limited knowledge on nutrient imbalances, soil fertility depletion determinants and soil acidity and the importance of soil testing.

EcoSave works directly with smallholder farming communities to enhance their knowledge on regenerative agriculture as a sustainable alternative to tillage-based agriculture and works to improve farmers knowledge on nutrient imbalances, soil fertility depletion determinants and soil acidity and the importance of soil testing.
