The
NRM InterCRSP is promoting water-harvesting techniques such as this
ridge-tillage demonstration in Fansirakouro, Mali. |
The Natural Resource Management InterCRSP Project (NRM CRSP) seeks
to mobilize available expertise and to build on the current knowledge
and technology, the existing capacity, and the mandates of six CRSPs
(Bean Cowpea, IPM, INTSORMIL, Peanut, SANREM, and Soil Management)
working in West Africa to improve natural resource management within
the region. The NRM CRSP accomplishes this by focusing on coordinating
the collaborative research, training, technology transfer, and networking
efforts of the participating CRSPs in regionally important thematic
areas. The IPM CRSP was selected as the lead CRSP, and OIRD/Virginia
Tech was selected as the Management Entity of this important effort
to reduce natural resource degradation; improve soil, water, nutrient,
crop and forest resources; reduce crop losses due to pests; and increase
farm income to improve the quality of life for all people of the region.
