Hvae some ideas from here. Best.

I hope the specific chapter on the theme and the chapter attached to the following link would be useful for you:

One possibility is the application of arbuscular mycorrizal fungi in the fields and them application of organic amendments, with the logical diminishing of chemical fertilizers. You can produce a commercial inoculum with certified strains and then applied such fungi. You can check our work: Soil–strain compatibility: the key to effective use of arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculants? Ricardo A. Herrera-Peraza & Chantal Hamel & Félix Fernández & Roberto L. Ferrer & Eduardo Furrazola. Mycorrhiza (2011) 21:183–193 DOI 10.1007/s00572-010-0322-6.. In other work:

Effectiveness of MICOFERT® on the growth of asparagus in Peru

Juan Francisco Ley-Rivas, Luis Aliaga Rodríguez y Eduardo Furrazola Gómez. Acta Botánica Cubana Vol. 215, No. 1 pp. 75-79 / 2016. Electronic address: http://revistas.geotech.cu/index.php/abc/index

In 1985, Gordon Conway—now Professor of International Development at Imperial College, London—suggested that agricultural systems might be assessed on the basis of four properties: (i) productivity (measured in terms of yield or net income); (ii) stability of yield or net income; (iii) sustainability of yield or net income; and (iv) equitability in terms of income distribution. (See Gordon Conway. 1985. Agroecosystems Analysis. Agricultural Administration. Vol. 20, No. 1, pp. 31-55.) He did not indicate what types of trade-offs should be made between characteristics when a choice is available or who should make trade-off judgments. However, an ex-ante assessment of rural conditions and trends using a cultural perspective would facilitate that exercise.

PS: I reproduced a figure from Conway's article, which illustrates desirable and undesirable agricultural systems from the four perspectives mentioned, in Past Visions of Rural Asia's Future, available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269097401_Past_Visions_of_Rural_Asia%27s_Future.

I have been studying vertical farming and controlled-environment (indoor) agriculture and the small-scale viability of business models using new technologies. The most limiting factor for these is the cost (financially and to the environment) of artificial lighting and heating/cooling of the growing spaces. Let me know if you want some links...

Family farmers are involved in sustainable agricultural practices in sub-Sahara Africa. Agro-pastoralists, agroforestry, intercropping, crop rotation, zero-tillage, irrigation

farming and contour farming are feasible practices for family farmers. Read further http://www.istituto-oikos.org/files/download/2014/HANDBOOK_WEB_final.pdf
