Key Takeaways
Recommendations for Successful Farmer Adoption
Invest in local seed and vine multiplication before promoting the system widely.
Support farmers through the first establishment season, which is where most failures occur.
Lead with the fodder benefit for livestock-keeping households.
Train on the full layout, since partial adoption does not deliver the pest effect.
Pitfalls and Implementation Risks
Promoting the system without a secured seed supply, which produces failed first seasons.
Treating it as a pest treatment that can be applied to part of a plot.
Ignoring the land cost of the border strip on very small holdings.
Publishing yield multiples from research plots as though they were farmer-field results.
