FarmLime Project Summary Report

Abstract

This report summarises work funded by the Department for International Development Knowledge and Research programme, as part of the British Government’s programme of aid to developing countries. The ‘FarmLime: Low-cost lime for small-scale farming’ project (R7410) set out to investigate a way of improving the agricultural performance of small scale farms through the use of low-cost agricultural lime produced within the farming district using locally occurring dolomite. The main technical research phase (1999 to 2001) will be followed with a dissemination workshop phase(2002 to 2005)
