This week, the Zowasel Program Team, under the ongoing Sorghum Value Chain Program, hosted the IDH Agronomist Consultant on a field supervision visit to one of its project locations in Iporin, Eastern Kwara State. The visit assessed sorghum demo plots and evaluated farmers’ adoption of best agronomic practices and RegenAg principles.
The team reviewed crop growth stages, Climate-Smart Adoption strategies, and plant spacing standards, while navigating the effects of drought that tested the resilience of both the crops and the farming community. Thanks to our Crop Pilot MRV Weather Advisory system, farmers received timely advisory guidance to support their response.
Despite these challenges, the visit reaffirmed the impact of consistent agronomic training and field support in driving sustainable farming outcomes.
