Practices and Systems Applied in Common Beans Farming in Burundi

Farming is a main job occupying a large part of the world wide population among which Burundians. Farming products are a main source of food system. Many techniques among which digitalization are being applied to tackle the growing need in food for the humanity while fertility is decreasing. This article is to analyze different practices developed or applied farming common beans in Burundian acid soil. We used a questionnaire administrated to a sample of 283 respondents, in which we used Kobocollect tools in data collection. Data analysis was helped by IBM SPPS 25 tools and Microsoft Office Excel. Results show that the system is dynamic for whether they use the combination or association of different seeds in a single crop, not even following expert councils. They cannot afford fertilizers’ price while a large number of our respondents do not know dolomite meaning they do not use it. While a few use compost or manures from cattle, their harvest denotes a very low bean production that needs to be increased by different systems to think about population satisfaction in Beans instead of letting things this way.

Abstract

Farming is a main job occupying a large part of the world wide population among which Burundians. Farming products are a main source of food system. Many techniques among which digitalization are being applied to tackle the growing need in food for the humanity while fertility is decreasing. This article is to analyze different practices developed or applied farming common beans in Burundian acid soil. We used a questionnaire administrated to a sample of 283 respondents, in which we used Kobocollect tools in data collection. Data analysis was helped by IBM SPPS 25 tools and Microsoft Office Excel. Results show that the system is dynamic for whether they use the combination or association of different seeds in a single crop, not even following expert councils. They cannot afford fertilizers’ price while a large number of our respondents do not know dolomite meaning they do not use it. While a few use compost or manures from cattle, their harvest denotes a very low bean production that needs to be increased by different systems to think about population satisfaction in Beans instead of letting things this way.
