N2  - Over four years, a research-for-development project was implemented
at the 25 de Setembro irrigation scheme in Mozambique. The
project introduced agricultural innovation platforms to overcome
barriers to production such as input and output supply chains and
poorly maintained irrigation canals. Soil moisture and nutrient
monitoring tools were provided so that farmers could improve
their irrigation and fertilizer management. The farmers increased
their crop production through the use of the tools and better
irrigation infrastructure, and increased their income and overall
well-being through better links to markets and new information
sources facilitated by the agricultural innovation platforms.

Research in undertaking this research.
