Research/Study Report
Propcom+ implemented a System of Rice Intensification (SRI) project, expanding on the success of the FCDO LINKS initiative in Kano and Jigawa states. Evidence from the LINKS pilots indicated that SRI practice increases rice productivity and reduces methane emissions. Unlike conventional rice farming, SRI can be practised in wet and dry seasons, giving farmers all-year-round farm income and contributing to improved livelihoods. The pilot also revealed key constraints limiting farmers’ participation and adoption, particularly among women.

Factsheet
The business case supports financing for productive use assets to enhance rice production through the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) using a service delivery model. The transplanter promotes wide spacing and single/minimum seedling transplanting components of SRI. The logic of the service delivery model is to overcome the drudgery aspects of wide spacing and minimum seedling transplanting.

Factsheet
The FCDO LINKS Programme demonstrated the benefits of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), including higher yields and significant reduction in methane emissions.

Success Stories
In Nigeria, where rice is mainly produced by small-scale farmers under rain-fed conditions with relatively low productivity, a groundbreaking initiative called ‘Irrigation-As-A-Service’ (Irri-Go) is revolutionising the agricultural landscape, providing smallholder rice farmers with solar irrigation solutions, driving down production costs, boosting rice production, and reducing methane emissions.

Learning Products
The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is a proven nature-based approach for rice cultivation that curbs methane emissions and enhances yields, providing benefits for our planet, people and prosperity (SRI 2030). SRI offers significant opportunities for women to engage in climate-smart agriculture and cultivate more profitable crops.

Strategy Document
Propcom+ presents two critical entry points for addressing climate change issues: helping farmers adapt to the impact of climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the way that interventions are designed and delivered. Investing in sustainable climate-smart agriculture is imperative.

Operational Manual/Guide
Access to quality animal health services is crucial for enhancing livestock productivity, safeguarding public health, and fostering economic growth, especially in rural areas. However, challenges such as limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled personnel often hinder the effective delivery of veterinary services.

Factsheet
Diseases are the biggest threats to livestock productivity, most of which are preventable if rural veterinary distribution and service channels are fully developed and optimised. The Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) and Veterinary Paraprofessionals (VPPs) remain promising models for raising a crop of micro/rural entrepreneurs who deliver animal health services, including vaccinations, to rural poultry/livestock farmers.

Factsheet
About 70% of rural people are smallholder farmers (IFAD), and the majority are still unaware of the benefits of using certified climate-smart seeds. Climate-smart seeds have the potential to minimise crop failure due to climate risks. Propcom+ is scaling the Rural Seed Promoter (RSP) model to drive the last-mile distribution of climate-smart certified seed varieties so farmers can build resilience and increase their incomes.
