Info

Technical support Training / awareness raising: Training provided for land user, field staff/agricultural advisor. Training was on-the-job, site visits / farmer to farmer, demonstration areas, public meetings, courses Advisory service: The extension system is very adequate to ensure continuation of activities. Research: Yes, great research. Topics covered include technology. Mostly on station and on-farm research. There are three experimental sites with evaluations to determine the best choice of conservation tillage systems and crop rotations. Different conservation tillage systems were evaluated and compared to conventional tillage. On these experimental sites, several indicators (chemical, physical and biological) were evaluated. External material support / subsidies Contribution per area (state/private sector): Yes. INDAP (INDAP, Institute of Agricultural Development) Labour: Voluntary.. Input: Equipment (machinery, tools, etc.), agricultural (seeds, fertilizers, etc.), construction material (stone, wood, etc.), infrastructure (roads, schools, etc): fully financed Credit: The funding for the implementation of new technologies are 50% from the state (programme of recovery of degraded soils of the Government of Chile for soil conservation practices) and 50% of the producers themselves (materials, labour, etc.) Support to local institutions: The Yumbel project has had permanent participation of INIA (project DESIRE) and INDAP. Monitoring and evaluation Monitored aspects Methods and indicators bio-physical Soil fertility (soil nutrient content N, P, K, S), erosion (soil loss, loss of nutrients), quality of soil (compaction, bulk density, structure, aggregate stability) measurements by project staff economic / production Crop production (yield, quality), gross margin, profitability observations by project staff Changes as result of monitoring and evaluation: There were no changes in the approach and in the technology. SLM Approach: Dissemination of soil conservation technologies in dryland areas, Chile DESIRE – WOCAT 2012 199
Impacts of the Approach Improved sustainable land management: Yes, greatly improved; Mitigation of water erosion effects and better yields. Adoption by other land users / projects: Yes, many; because of the great results obtained by few farmers, the approach is being adopted by others. Improved livelihoods / human well-being: Yes, greatly improved; farmers that perform conservation obtained better yields, less work on the sowing and more time to attend to other activities on the land. Improved situation of disadvantaged groups: This programme targets small farmers of the commune, who have no access to the technology or to State aid. The results are highly promising regarding the incorporation to the development of this sector. Poverty alleviation: The improvement in yields and profitability of crops, the diversification of the production and the mitigation of land degradation are the strategies that are being implemented to alleviate poverty. Training, advisory service and research: Training effectiveness Land users - poor SLM specialists - excellent Agricultural advisor / trainers - good School children / students – good Politicians / decision makers – excellent Advisory service effectiveness Land users - good Politicians / decision makers - good Technicians / conservation specialists – excellent Research contributing to the approach's effectiveness Greatly, The results obtained in the experimental sites (Cauquenes), as a result of the DESIRE Project, are being adopted by Policy Makers (SAG) to generate new policies and financing instruments to help the farmers. Land/water use rights: These do not apply because in the area there are no water rights as there is rainfed agriculture and the farmers are all owners of their land. Long-term impact of subsidies: Positive long-term impact - Greatly Main motivation of land users to implement: Increased production , Increased profit(ability), improve cost-benefit-ratio , Rules and regulations (fines) / enforcement , Prestige / social pressure , Payments / subsidies, Reduced workload, Affiliation to movement / project / group / networks, Environmental consciousness, moral, health, Well-being and livelihoods improvement, Aesthetic SLM: Sustainability of activities: It is uncertain whether the land users will be able to sustain the approach activities. Concluding statements Strengths and how to overcome Weaknesses and how to overcome Great interest of farmers to improve their incomes and conditions of life A strong commitment from the local authorities with the project High rural population in this commune, involvement of young farmers (under 40 years) Assistance programmes from the State oriented towards tackling soil degradation This project has been sustained over time and will remain at least for 3 to 4 years. Key reference(s): - Contact person(s): Ovalle Carlos, Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias. covalle@inia.cl Insufficient training on soil conservation for the farmers or for technical assistance companies training, field days, demonstrative sowings, explanatory publications, practical work with farmers and technicians. Delay in allocation of resources of the instruments of the state synchronizing the availability of resources with the needs of the farmers for the execution of the work (supply purchases, rental equipment, etc.) Lack of no-tillage machinery organization of associative farmers enterprises for the purchase of machinery and agricultural implements. 200 DESIRE – WOCAT Desire for Greener Land
