WP3: Bio-physical effects of SFM innovations and further improvements (Output 1)

Trials with enforced organic matter production will be established on research stations and on-farm. Both researchers and farmers will design these trials for sustainable SFM. Each of the participating farmers will then run a field test based on protocols provided. Soils will be analyzed for nutrient availability, pH, soil organic matter, moisture dynamics, and soil microbial biomass in year 1, year 3 and 5. Crop yields and residues will be measured annually.
