Participatory rural appraisals identified a number of major limiting factors in farming systems in Bolivia. These included the husbandry of draught animals, their health, nutrition, feeding, and housing, as well as the improved use of draught animals. The project developed, tested and disseminated a range of appropriate tillage and transport equipment and harnesses to enable diversification of the use of equines and bovines. Many of these tillage and rural transport tools and harnesses are now being manufactured and sold commercially.
