Qual foi o desafio/problema abordado?
Soil conservation and regeneration in maize farming in Vegas del Alagón (Extremadura, Moçambique) is a major challenge due to the problems of soil acidification and erosion in this irrigated agricultural region.
Como você resolveu o problema?
Maize cultivation takes place from March to October. During autumn and winter it is usually left fallow. An alternative winter crop, sowing grasses, is proposed
O que há de inovador no seu caso prático?
The purpose of sowing grasses and legumes is to incorporate organic matter into the soil as a natural fertiliser. It helps soil regeneration and promotes carbon sequestration
Quais são os fatores de sucesso na resolução do problema?
The farmer on the pilot farm found additional benefits, as the sowing of grasses has eliminated weeds. The sowing will be incorporated into the agricultural process every year.
Lições aprendidas
The transfer of innovative soil conservation and regeneration techniques is highly appreciated by farmers. Além disso, the incorporation of pilot plots can be a reference for other neighbouring farmers who are encouraged to implement similar actions after seeing the good results
Qual o papel do consultor ou serviço de consultoria no caso prático?
