I tend to agree with Chelangati that reality on the ground is different. When you factor in the cost of inorganic fertilizer for a smallholder farmer who is a subsistence farmer, then the approach has to consider their broader livelihood aspects. In a way, a systems approach to this is likely to yield better results, as it brings to the fore some of the underlying drivers, than confronting farmers with science alone, which to a great extend they already appreciate.
