Abstract

Soil health management is crucial for sustainable agriculture in Darfur, Sudan, where smallholder farmers face challenges such as soil degradation and nutrient depletion. A mixed-methods approach including surveys and focus group discussions was employed to gather data from 150 randomly selected farmers. Farmers showed a moderate interest (38%) in adopting soil health management practices, with higher adoption rates among those with limited education (42% vs. 32%). Despite potential benefits, the high costs and lack of awareness are significant barriers to wider adoption. Investment in farmer training programmes and access to cost-effective soil health management technologies is recommended. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
