Ethiopia's highlands are characterized by diverse agricultural landscapes that have supported various farming practices over centuries. A mixed-methods approach combining semi-structured interviews with farmer focus groups to gather qualitative insights into current agricultural practices and challenges. Farmers reported significant variability in soil moisture levels across different regions of the highlands, necessitating diverse irrigation methods for optimal wheat growth. Current farming techniques vary widely among local communities, highlighting a need for tailored agronomic recommendations to enhance productivity and sustainability. Develop context-specific educational programmes focusing on sustainable soil management and efficient water use in Ethiopian Highlands.
