Issue 8, October 2015 Sesame Business Network Newsletter Page 2 Sesame row planter demonstrated The SBN Support Programme is popularising recommended agricultural practices for sesame production in northwest Ethiopia. Row planting is one of the essential steps of the recommended package for improving sesame yields and quality. Thus far, adoption rate of row planting is low due to its labour and time consump- tion and unavailability of row planters. To ease the burden and transform sesame production practices, the SBN Support Programme has approached different companies to introduce tractor-mounted row planters from abroad for large-scale farmers and to develop animal-driven sesame row planters within the country for small- scale farmers. One of the row planters during demonstration Different types of planters were row planter; Baldan seed driller; professionals in northwest Ethiopia. evaluated and demonstrated to farm- SFOGGIA precision row planter; and ers in Abrehajira, Metema and Humera The testing and demonstration of SFOGGIA seed driller.

  • Livelihood Zones Analysis Ethiopia
    Improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers LIVELIHOOD ZONES ANALYSIS A tool for planning agricultural water management investments Ethiopia Prepared by Dr. Girma Medhin in consultation with FAO, 2011 About this report The AgWater Solutions Project aimed at designing agricultural water management (AWM) strategies for smallholder farmers in sub Saharan Africa and in India. The project was managed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and operated jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) and International Development Enterprise (IDE). It was implemented in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and in the States of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal in India. Several studies have highlighted the potential of AWM for poverty alleviation. In practice, however, adoption rates of AWM solutions remain low, and where adoption has taken place locally, programmes aimed at disseminating these solutions often remain a challenge. The overall goal of the project was to stimulate and support successful pro-poor, gender-equitable AWM investments, policies and implementation strategies through concrete, evidence-based knowledge and decision-making tools. The project has examined AWM interventions at the farm, community, watershed, and national levels. It has analyzed opportunities and constraints of a number of small-scale AWM interventions in several pilot research sites across the different project countries, and assessed their potential in different agro-climatic, socio-economic and political contexts. This report was prepared as part of the efforts to assess the potential for AWM solutions at national level. The livelihood zones analysis divides the country in a series of areas where rural people share relatively homogeneous living conditions on the basis of a combination of biophysical and socio-economic determinants.
