IDRC: The Bentley Cropping Systems Fellowship Max Funding: $30,000
This Fellowship (a bequest from Helen S. Bentley and C. Fred
Bentley) provides assistance to Canadian and developing-country graduate
students with a university degree in agriculture, forestry or biology, who
wish to undertake postgraduate, applied, on-farm research with cooperating
farmers in a developing country. Projects should evaluate and/or promote
the use of fertility enhancing plants, such as leguminous forages, shrubs,
cover crops, and grain legumes in small farms. The intent is to seek ways to
increase the yield of food crops, improve farmers’ livelihoods, and improve
soil fertility. The research should seek cropping system changes that will lead
to: sustainable and increased crop yields; production of more and improved
animal feed; improved soil and water conservation; improved weed control,
and/or biological fixation of nitrogen. Projects should be planned and
executed in cooperation with an international agricultural research centre, or
with a developing-country institution involved in agricultural research that
has an applied on-farm orientation.
