Benefits of 4R Solution
A Truly Global Impact
The initiative’s aim is to show how adopting more sustainable farming practices can increase resilience, incomes, and food security, and reduce poverty for men, women and children.
Economic
Helping smallholder farmers grow more nutritious and marketable crops, increase revenues, productivity and profit margins.
Environmental
Reflecting a commitment to improve food security, promote climate smart agriculture and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Social
Promoting the empowerment of women farmers, with special emphasis on improving access to financial resources and agriculture technologies.
Africa’s smallholders are more than capable of feeding the continent — so long as they boost their yields by using the latest agronomic practices in combination with appropriately adapted seeds and fertilizer.
Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations
What is the 4R Solution?
A Scientific Approach
The 4R Solution is a Canadian program that will improve agricultural productivity and sustainability for more than 80,000 smallholder farmers (50% women) in developing countries including Ethiopia, Ghana, and Senegal.
The Challenge
The challenge is threefold: the limited quality of production, resulting from depleted soils, unsustainable agricultural practices; poor post-harvest handling and; limited access to markets.
The Solution
Following 4R Nutrient Stewardship, a science-based fertilizer management program supported by Canada’s fertilizer industry, farmers will grow more, nutritious, and marketable crops.
The Approach
CDF Canada and Fertilizer Canada will work in partnership with governments, agricultural input companies, research institutions, and smallholder farmers organized in co-operatives.
