    • Given the global scope of the CoCoFe, do you think the objectives are appropriate?   YES

      How should be the CoCoFe be structured to have the maximum positive impact?

      Who would be the best audience for the CoCoFe to meet our objectives and how could we broaden and diversify this audience to increase its influence? Extension officers, agronomists and other fertilser advisers.  Places where fertiliser is sold

      What should the scope of the CoCoFe be? Which nutrient input sources should be included; only synthetic fertilizers, or also manure, biosolids, compost, etc.?  Should other products such as bio-stimulants, nitrification inhibitors, urease inhibitors, etc., be included as well?  All nutrient materials should be included : through Europe we have regulations especially on manure & biosolids due to nitrate leaching : I am not sure whether they have caught up with the explosion in AD digestate.

      Will the CoCoFe assist in promoting responsible and judicious use of fertilizers?  Why or why not?  What other suggestions do you have to help the CoCoFe meet our objectives?  It will assist if it is widely disseminated - bout our research in Nigeria suggests there are so few extension workers the message may not reach farmers.  Sellers of fertiliser materials should be required to display notices and hand out leaflets with every sale made.
