Yam Production – A Staple Crop for Sustainable Farming and Food Security. In this comprehensive and practical video, we explore the full cycle of yam production, from land preparation and planting to harvesting and post-harvest handling. Yams are a vital food security crop across many regions, especially in Africa, and play a key role in sustainable agriculture, agroecology, and indigenous farming systems. Whether you're a smallholder farmer, gardener, agroecology practitioner, or someone passionate about nature-based farming, this video is packed with valuable insights and proven techniques.
Why Yam Farming Is Essential for Sustainable Agriculture:
Yams are a nutrient-rich tuber crop that thrive in low-input farming systems, making them ideal for organic farming, climate-smart agriculture, and regenerative agriculture. Yam cultivation supports soil health, promotes crop diversity, and contributes to food sovereignty. With proper techniques, yam farming can be highly productive and profitable, especially when integrated with intercropping, mulching, and natural fertilisation practices.
