The Farm Mechanization and Conservation Agriculture for Sustainable Intensification (FACASI) project is International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT)-led initiative to improve access to mechanization, reduce labor drudgery, and minimize biomass trade-offs in Eastern and Southern Africa, through accelerated delivery and adoption of 2WT-based technologies by smallholders. The FACASI project has four principal objectives: 1. To evaluate and demonstrate 2WT-based technologies to support CA systems, using expertise and implements from Africa, South Asia and Australia. 2. To test site-specific commercial systems to deliver 2WT-based mechanization. 3. To identify improvements in national institutions and policies for wide adoption of 2WTbased mechanization. 4. To improve capacity and create awareness of 2WT-based technologies in the sub-region, and share knowledge and information with other regions.
