NUTMON Toolbox v3.5 available FOR FREE!
Version 3.5 of the NUTMON Toolbox is now available. This will be the last version of the Nutmon Toolbox because our efforts will now concentrate on MonQI, the NUTMON successor that focuses less on soil nutrients and more on livelihoods, environment and certification.
We therefore decided to make the current version of the NUTMON Toolbox free for any use. You can find the download links on the download page or download it directly from the MonQI site. Compared to the previous version this version has some minor bug fixes but also includes the possibility to export data on household members and off-farm income.

The NUTMON methodology has been established to help securing today's productivity and tomorrow's sustainability of tropical farming systems.

NUTMON is an integrated, multi-disciplinary methodology which targets different actors in the process of managing natural resources in general and soil nutrients in particular. With the NUTMON methodology farmers and researchers jointly analyse the environmental and financial sustainability of tropical farming systems.

Toolbox

The NUTMON-Toolbox consists of a questionnaire, a manual and several software modules that are specifically designed to facilitate monitoring and analysis of farming systems in general and nutrient management, financial performance of the farm in specific. Each of the components of the NUTMON Toolbox is discussed in more detail here. This Toolbox was developed by Alterra, LEI, ID and PRI (all part of Wageningen UR), and tested and applied in diverse agro-ecological zones in close cooperation with partners from Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Burkina Faso, China and Vietnam.

As long as there are copies available, the toolbox can be obtained for free by organisations in developing countries. Organisations from developed countries will have to pay a fee, which will be used to make the NUTMON Toolbox available for organisations in developing countries.
