Output 4: Development of extension materials describing DEs for use as grain protectants

Progress report:

To optimise the eventual uptake of DEs and other effective grain protectant treatments account will be taken of the manner in which different farmers (e.g. by gender, wealth) access and share storage knowledge, and of the mechanisms used by organisations to receive and disseminate information to these groups. The identification of grain storage stakeholders at the project locations is being developed, and a preliminary analysis and study of the quality and quantity of networks and information flows amongst intermediate users in Shinyanga was undertaken during the recent Grain Storage Stakeholder Workshop (a full report of the workshop is available on the project publications page).
