A UN IFAD program offers a Teff farming package costing about 250 dollars to enable a family of four to produce a ton of grain on 2 percent of an acre. The plan covers tools, fertilizer, seeds, water tapping, and technical help, with loans and concessional terms to spur small enterprises and gender inclusion across developing countries.

Panel broadens penalties for plowing erodible soil
The Senate Agriculture Committee toughened sodbuster provisions in the farm bill, closing exemptions for land whose erosion risk is not yet determined. Farmers who cultivated highly erodible land after a set date face potential loss of subsidies unless they follow an approved conservation plan. Aimed at reducing soil loss and surplus production, the move drew cautious support and debate.
