Liquid Compost [Madagaskar]
Liquid compost is produced by chopping and mixing animal dung and fresh plant matter, including plants with insect-repellent properties, in an aqueous medium. This liquid compost can be used as a substitute for mineral fertilizers and for pest control in crops. It can be used on all types of crops, but is particularly suitable for market gardening.

Intercropping of Maize and Cowpeas [Madagaskar]
Intercropping maize with legumes improves soil fertility and provides a rapid source of income for smallholders. Red cowpea, known locally as “lojy zazamena”, is the most widely used legume, but there are also other varieties of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) that adapt well to the region's environmental conditions.

Pares-feux agricoles [Madagaskar]
Les terres cultivées sont résistantes au feu et peuvent servir de coupe-feu en raison de la présence d'humidité et du manque de combustible sec. La mise en place de coupures de combustible par l’agriculture permet de créer des paysages en mosaïque résistants aux incendies, tout en réduisant la dégradation des forêts et la déforestation.

Shallow tillage (15-20cm) [Tunisië]
Shallow tillage involves disturbing the upper layer of soil without deep ploughing. It aims to provide a good seedbed, incorporate manure, control weeds, and enhance water infiltration while minimizing soil erosion and compaction. A machine tiller has recently replaced animal traction for this purpose.

Planting Pits in Conservation Farming for Improved Soil Health and Sustainable Land Management [Zimbabwe]
Conservation farming prevents the degradation of soil structure, the loss of organic matter and soil biodiversity, while maintaining and restoring soil fertility. Thereby it fosters optimal conditions for crop growth and development while contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Rock-Packed Halfmoon with Native Grass Seeding [Zimbabwe]
A half-moon pit, also known as an infiltration pit, is a semi-circular rainwater harvesting structure designed to capture and store runoff water, primarily in arid and semi-arid regions. Its design and implementation play a crucial role in reducing soil erosion, improving soil moisture retention, and enhancing vegetation growth.

Enhanced modern beekeeping technology for household food security, income generation and gender inclusion [Zambië]
Enhanced modern beekeeping technology supports participation of women and youths as it is an important source of household income through the use of modern frame hives. Traditional forest-based beekeeping that require spending time away from home is generally not appropriate for family-based women and the youth, in addition modern beekeeping technologies support sustainable natural resource management.
