The objective of the “LIvestock Production System” (LIPS) project is to improve productivity and climate relevance of livsestock-based production systems in Zimbabwe's agro-ecological regions IV and V through increased adoption of climate relevant innovations in livestock-based production systems, and increased capacity to implement surveillance and control of productivity diseases.
The “Sustainable Intensification of Smallholder Farming Systems” (SIFAZ) project aims at sustainably intensifying current smallholder farming systems affected by soil degradation, fertility decline and climate change with improved technologies and scaling approaches to increase productivity, income and facilitate commercial orientation of smallholder farmers while maintaining environmental resilience of the natural resource base for sustainable production in the targeted production systems.
The goal of the project “Validating Agro-ecological Control Options for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E.
