SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURITY Establish a technical facility to support land reform programmes Increase fertiliser consumption from 44.6 kilograms pr hectare of arable land to 65 kilograms per hectare of arable land (world average is 98.8Kg/ha) Double cropland under irrigation from 3.5% to 7% as percentage of the total Double the adoption rate of proven technologies such as improved seed varieties, management of water and land Increase cereal yield in kilograms per hectare from an average of 1,392 during to 2,000 (world average) Improving access to land by small-scale farmers Promoting farmers access to key agricultural inputs such as improved seeds, fertiliser/ manure, drug/pesticides and credit. Promoting efficient irrigation systems Strengthening researchfarmer-extension linkages to facilitate dissemination and adoption of technologies (including biotechnology) to farmers and other stakeholders Improvement of soil fertility through use of appropriate technologies To improve food availability through increased production, productivity and profitability of crops, livestock and fisheries MEASURES STRATEGIES OBJECTIVES Increased cereal yields per hectare.
