at the 25 de Setembro irrigation scheme in Mozambique. The&#13;
project introduced agricultural innovation platforms to overcome&#13;
barriers to production such as input and output supply chains and&#13;
poorly maintained irrigation canals. Soil moisture and nutrient&#13;
monitoring tools were provided so that farmers could improve&#13;
their irrigation and fertilizer management. The farmers increased&#13;
their crop production through the use of the tools and better&#13;
irrigation infrastructure, and increased their income and overall&#13;
well-being through better links to markets and new information&#13;
sources facilitated by the agricultural innovation platforms.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agricultural Marketing</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Irrigation</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Maize</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agricultural Economics</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Mozambique</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2020-06</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Routledge</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
