Save and Grow in Practice: Maize, Rice, Wheat- A guide to sustainable cereal production

This guide describes the practical application of FAO's 'Save and Grow' model of sustainable crop production intensification to the world's key food security crops: maize, rice and wheat. With examples from Africa, Asia and Latin America, it shows how ecosystem-based farming systems are helping smallholder farmers to boost cereal yields, strengthen their livelihoods, reduce pressure on the environment, and build resilience to climate change.
The guide will be a valuable reference for policymakers and development practitioners during the global transition to sustainable food and agriculture.
