Promoting the 4Rs of Nutrient Stewardship to Boost Agricultural Productivity across West Africa

The Feed the Future Enhancing Growth through Regional Agricultural Input Systems (EnGRAIS) Project for West Africa is leading efforts to help farmers increase their yields through appropriate nutrient management practices using the 4R Principles of Nutrient Stewardship.


The 4Rs prescribe the Right source, ensuring the appropriate nutrient source; the Right rate, applying the correct amount of nutrients; the Right time, selecting the optimal time for nutrient application; and the Right place, applying nutrients where plants can easily access them.

This is achieved through a farmer-centered approach, which capitalizes on existing producers to transform the production ecosystem in the Sikasso sub-area.
