Land degradation is one of the most serious problems facing Ethiopia today. In order to improve crop yield in the region, the Bureau of Agriculture and Natural Resources in Tigray (BoANR) adopted the Sasakawa Global (SG) 2000 package, which is based on high input demanding varieties and chemical fertilisers. Since 1996, the Institute for Sustainable Development started a project in four selected rural farming communities in Tigray, aiming to establish productive agricultural systems. Its results were then compared with the performance of the SG package in neighbouring villages.
