Objective:

The project analyses agricultural production systems in two densely populated provinces in Burundi. Farmer households are dominated by subsistence farming with limited sales, characterised by difficult access to inputs, lack of markets, and increased land fragmentation. In this project we study what is needed to increase farm productivity towards better food security.
