Each 25-minute episode typically covered four topics spanning seasonal crop issues (soil health, planting and seed selection), livestock and poultry management (deworming, feeding), Climate Smart Agricultural Practices, andTechnologies and Climate Information Services.
The findings are based on a quantitative, cross-sectional survey of smallholder farmers across seven Zambian provinces, comparing self-identified MMO 3 viewers with a matched sample of non-viewers. The two groups were closely aligned on household assets, gender and age, which strengthens confidence that the differences reported in this document reflect the influence of the programme rather than pre-existing differences between the groups. Because exposure to the series was self-selected rather than randomly assigned, the findings should be read as strong, consistent association rather than definitive proof of causation or attribution.
