SayPro The current state of farming systems research

Farming systems research has had a profound and positive impact on agricultural productivity. This research helps identify and address problems with farming practices, which results in increased yields. Over the years, this research has helped us to improve the way we produce food today and into the future. For example, we now know that crop rotation is an important factor in maintaining soil health and improving crop production. Additionally, we now understand that smallholder farmers who use conservation tillage systems are more likely to have higher yields than those who do not. This is because conservation tillage systems allow farmers to conserve resources while still achieving high yields.
