FARMERS’ CAPACITY BUILDING ON BETTER CROP HUSBANDRY | PROJECTS

STS believes that good crop husbandry and farming practices are critical in improving the food  security  and  in  building  community  resilience  in  the  face  of growing  environmental shocks. 

 In  2019, STS  improved  the  knowledge  and skills of farmers and targeted households on better  crop management,  soil  fertility management, water conservation, and post- harvest handling. The project has increased the income of the beneficiaries directly due to  the  increased  productivity  of the  unit area  through  the  application  of this knowledge  and skil s coupled with  the  use  of  fertilizers  and certified quality seeds supplied by STS.
