SWC practices are widespread in West African drylands, but specific adoption rates are still very low. Nearly all (99%) farmers use at least one practice, but a majority (70%) uses three practices at most. Many SWC practices are interdependent either as complementary or substitutable. SWC practices are labor-, knowledge- and capital-intensive. Children, particularly those aged 6 to 14, play a key role in the adoption process of SWC practices.
