| Name | Nutrient Monitoring for Tropical Farming Systems (NUTMON) |
| Description | Nutrient Monitoring for Tropical Farming Systems (NUTMON) NUTMON is an integrated, multi-disciplinary methodology which targets different actors in the process of managing natural resources in general and soil nutrients in particular. With the NUTMON methodology farmers and researchers jointly analyse the environmental and financial sustainability of tropical farming systems.Participatory research techniques such as resource flow mapping, matrix ranking and trend analysis are used to obtain the farmers perspective. Next to this a quantitative analysis is carried out which generates import indicators such as nutrient flows, nutrient balances, cash flows, gross margins and farm income. Both the qualitative and quantitative analysis are then used to improve or design new technologies which tackle soil fertility management problems and which can help to increase the financial performance of the farm.The NUTMON approach has been and is being implemented in research and development projects addressing soil fertility management in situations of both nutrient depletion and nutrient accumulation. Currently we backstop the use of the NUTMON Toolbox in the following countries: Several sites in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali and Uganda. |
