Fertilizer Canada is taking it's 4R Nutrient Stewardship Program to developing countries.
The group is partnering with the Canadian Co-operative Association on the project.
The Association's Michael Casey says they believe small-holder farmers who choose to organize in co-operative enterprises can improve production and marketing of their produce and improve their lives.
The 4-R Nutrient Stewardship program is a science -based fertilizer management program supported by Canada's fertilizer industry.
Fertilizer Canada says North American research shows the program improves agricultural production and emphasizes appropriate fertilizer application to ensure soils are optimized for plant growth and nutrition.
