| description | The independent validation of the NextGen Decision Support Tool (DST)-based advisory by Ethiopia's national research system highlights its superior performance and marks a pivotal step in integrating site-specific, digital fertilizer recommendations into the national extension framework. This advisory has boosted wheat yield by 14% to 20% and increased net returns by up to $665 per hectare. With demonstrated impact and scalability, reaching over 72,000 farmers, the DST is improving productivity, sustainability, and livelihoods, solidifying its position as a transformative asset for Ethiopian agriculture. |
