IMPACT OF SPS ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE Elizabeth Cromwell Patrick Kambewa Rowland Chirwa Richard Mwanza Kwera Development Centre SPS2 Evaluation Module 4

Objectives of Module 4 Study Evaluate the acceptability of the crops SP provided Evaluate impact of composition on agricultural practices, local consumption, seed stock and replanting patterns Evaluate whether SPS has affected farmers overall strategy Impact of fertiliser and comparison for alternatives in increasing soil fertility Changes to composition of SP according to farmers criteria

Sustainability indicators Crop diversification Seed availability Farm land size Tools and implements Mixed cropping Fertiliser application Institutions Crop rotation Land Husbandry Livestock Tilling and weeding Manure application Chemical applications Agro-forestry Fallow

Trend Analysis: top 5 Indicators Seed Availability: Farmland size: Mix cropping: Crop Diversification: Tools and Implements:

Impact of SPS On SI Seed Availability: Mix cropping: Crop Diversification Farmland size: Tools and Implements:

DreamPack Maize like MH18 not Pannar Legumes: groundnut and bean not soyabean Fertiliser: no change to basal fertilizer or top dressing for most FPGs

Desired changes to logistics/Extension Early provision of SP Provide near the village The packs should be well sealed Fair registration and distribution Demonstration plots Face-to-face instruction

Policy Implications Best-bet technologies National seed policy Institutional development
