During the @CommonGroundUg team visit to Bududa district for the evaluation and learning activity, farmers revealed that @MwaresProject trained them to dig trenches in their gardens to control soil erosion hence increased productivity. @WURenvironment@issd_uganda@NLinUganda
I finalized my 10 day visit to Burundi, with great progress on the OKP project with UB, fish farm project with ELAGA and first steps for the new PAGRIS project with IFDC. All with the #pipapproach as core component!
IFDC helps #smallholder farmers access balanced crop nutrition. One way we do this is through the #Soil-SMaRT approach. Learn how we're helping farmers feed the #soil and feed the world. https://t.co/NrYidcHPZi

@NLinBurundi @IFDCnews @WUR@Oxfam@ZOA_nl@WFP @OxfamEAfrica What PIP is to farmer households, PIC is to farmer communities. Communities plan and work together to achieve what individuals alone cannot, such as building a school for their children.

@NLinBurundi @IFDCnews @WUR@Oxfam@ZOA_nl@WFP @OxfamEAfrica PIP stressed the integrity and autonomy of farmer households. Appreciation of the approach combined with newfound skills and beliefs led to the PIP approach spreading across villages and hills organically.
