The purpose of this literature review is to consider these factors when adopting integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) in rural Mali. More specifically, it will look at what role gender plays in adopting and implementing ISFM practices and what techniques should be considered when planning training sessions to ensure that women and men have equal access to ISFM techniques and information. As little research has been done on this in Mali, examples and best practices will be drawn from other regions in Africa and communication strategies from other agriculture and rural initiatives are included.
