ABSTRACT Over four years, a research-for-development project was implemented at the 25 de Setembro irrigation scheme in Mozambique. The project introduced agricultural innovation platforms to overcome barriers to production such as input and output supply chains and poorly maintained irrigation canals. Soil moisture and nutrient monitoring tools were provided so that farmers could improve their irrigation and fertilizer management. The farmers increased their crop production through the use of the tools and better irrigation infrastructure, and increased their income and overall well-being through better links to markets and new information sources facilitated by the agricultural innovation platforms.

农业创新平台和土壤水分和养分监测工具能否改善莫桑比克小农灌溉者的生产和生计？

摘要 四年多来，莫桑比克 25 de Setembro 灌溉计划实施了一个研究开发项目。该项目引入了农业创新平台，以克服投入和产出供应链以及维护不善的灌溉渠道等生产障碍。提供了土壤水分和养分监测工具，以便农民改善灌溉和肥料管理。农民通过使用这些工具和更好的灌溉基础设施增加了作物产量，并通过与市场和农业创新平台促进的新信息源的更好联系来增加他们的收入和整体福祉。
