Description
Description | The Semi-Mechanized Rainfed Agriculture Pilot Project is a continuation of the pilot field trials started at Kurtun Waarey and Sablaale in 1981 to develop an improved rainfed agricultural technology for Somalia's semi-arid zones. Overall, the project aims to put in place a technical and oganizational system as part of a larger strategy which includes irrigation, livestock, health and range development projects. The project will: 1) refine and improve semi-mechanized rainfed (SMR) technology in Somalia through onsite adaptive trails; 2) study the institutional structure for semi-mechanized farming activities and propose a self-sustaining model for expansion of rainfed farming; 3) transfer skills to Somalis to manage the enterprises and to farmers to use SMR farming technology through training and extension; and, 4) within the narrow limits of the pilot area, increase smallholder production and incomes for 400 smallholder families. |
