Research and Publications
RECODA works with smallholder farmers to improve their productivity and hence improve their livelihoods and resilience.
Research
On the Action Research, RECODA works together with the farmers in order to build their capacity to make informed decision based on what they see on their farms. This builds their capacity to collect simple data, analyze, interpret and make decisions. This is largely based on the technologies that the farmers are implementing in their area, and it works to compare different technologies of production. Through the group plots (on farm research or trials), the different technologies are compared, and throughout the season, farmers learn, collect data, analyze the observations and data and make decisions based on the discussions of the results.
Socio-economic research/study
On socio-economic research, RECODA works with researchers from different institutions to undertake research based on the farmers outcomes. These include researchers from universities, research institutions, university students and other research fellows. The outcomes of these research are publications in different forms, including papers, articles, policy briefs, and books.
