Conservation agriculture
• Minimize soil disturbance from tillage
• Maintain a year-round soil cover
• Use crop rotations or mixtures

Scaling up conservation agriculture
at SANREM closing phase
•Document and share successful technologies
•Examine opportunities for scaling-up
•Identify priority actions for moving the
process forward
•Interact with agriculture sector participants
which can follow up with successful
technologies

Conclusions
• Technology transfer strategies and
funding for scaling-up should be
included since inception
• New knowledge and information
should be documented and shared
during the program closing phase
• Multi-agent technology networks
instead of linear extension pathways
are needed
