DocumentFarmer Field School on Integrated Soil Management. Facilitator’s Manual. 1998
Also available in:
No results found.Farming communities of the FARM Programme field sites often indicated that they would like to receive more technical information particularly in relation to soil management, improving the efficiency of fertiliser use, increasing output and controlling costs. In attempting to respond to this need the FARM Programme used the modality of the Farmer Field School (FFS) as a learning tool for natural resource management. The FFS approach has enjoyed remarkable success in the implementation of the Int egrated Pest Management Intercountry Programme (IPM) in rice production in the region. The FFS approach in rice cultivation showed that farmers can become experts at ecosystem analysis and make informed decisions about necessary interventions, from both an ecological and an economic point of view. It seemed reasonable to assume that the FFS concept could be applied to enterprises and processes other than integrated pest management in rice production. -
Book (stand-alone)Module 6: Water for life. Junior Farmer Field and Life School: Facilitator’s Guide. 2011

No results found.Managing water in a field is very important for growing a healthy crop. Too little or too much water makes a big difference in the way a crop develops. When growing a crop outside of the rainy season, a farmer has to find ways to supply water to the crop. Therefore it is critical that the participants understand the water cycle, and the best ways of collecting, using and conserving water. Water is also essential in our own daily lives. We need it to drink, to prepare food and to wash. The partic ipants need to understand the importance of clean water for preventing disease and for their own personal hygiene. This module contains sample exercises for each of the learning activities, plus a number of sample energizers and cultural activities that can be used to keep the participants engaged and reinforce their learning. The provided activities should serve as samples to be modifies and applied as appropriate. The important thing is that all main building blocks of a typical JFFLS session are included in each learning session.
