The Winning Projects
Working in Partnership to Accelerate Technology Transfer (AgriTT)
Landell Mills successfully delivered this £9.4m DFID-funded development project, focused on improving food security in low income countries through technology transfer and knowledge sharing. The innovative trilateral programme brought together British, Chinese and African government partners, research institutions and the private sector to trial Chinese technologies in support of agricultural development in low income countries.
Mainstreaming Climate Change Risk Management in Nepal
This NDF and ADB-backed project assessed the viability of scaling up biochar-based fertilisers as a climate-friendly technology for farmers in Nepal. Field trials were carried out in over 100 communities, testing the most effective ways to use biochar. This was the most extensive research of its kind to date, and it saw average yield increases of over 100% across all the crops trialled. This has led to the incorporation of biochar technologies into national programmes which will improve the livelihoods of many thousands of farmers, as well as increasing soil fertility, decreasing use of chemical fertilisers, and reducing carbon emissions.
