Farmers' management of risk: Experiences of the indigenous soil and water conservation project in Zimbabwe
1999
Chuma, E. | Murwira, K.
The Kuturaya method of supporting farmer experimentation is geared toward innovation by individual farmers and increasing their self confidence and ability to develop, test, and modify both external and indigenous technologies. Implementation consists of a preparatory phase, followed by an implementation phase comprising three closely interlinked components-process initiation, seasonal cycles, and support. Pilot activities have demonstrated that it is possible to increase the number, variety, and quality of farmers' innovations and accelerate significantly the spread of sustainable management systems. To achieve the sustainable management of common property resources, Kuturaya will need to be integrated into a wider concept for community-resource or watershed management.
