Climate-smart Farmer Field School curriculum
2025Also available in:
No results found.This document, Part 4: Farmer Field School standard operating procedures, forms a key component of the standardized, one-curriculum package developed for the Climate-smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative in Jordan. Launched under the "Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan" (BRCCJ) project, this initiative empowers smallholder farmers to enhance water use efficiency and adapt to climate change. The comprehensive curriculum comprises six distinct parts, providing a structured framework for disseminating climate-smart agriculture (CSA) knowledge and technologies through participatory learning and capacity development of smallholder farmers. The one-curriculum package has six parts, namely, Part 1: Climate-smart agriculture practices compendium, Part 2: Climate-smart practices catalogues, Part 3: Climate-smart Farmer Field School one-curriculum, Part 4: Climate-smart Farmer Field School standard operating procedures, Part 5: Climate-smart Farmer Field School data recording and governance, and Part 6: Climate-smart Farmer Field School digital support. Part 4 of the CS-FFS one-curriculum provides standard operational procedures for supervisors, master trainers, and facilitators involved in the Climate-smart Farmer Field School (CS-FFS) programme. This guide aims to ensure the successful implementation of the programme, including the training of facilitators and trainers (TOFs/TOTs) and the execution of CS-FFS with farmers. By standardizing procedures, the programme seeks to enhance the effectiveness of field school implementation, enabling adaptation to evolving agricultural challenges. Furthermore, it aims to refine the CS-FFS methodology to effectively incorporate climate-smart agriculture practices. Ultimately, this resource promotes quality and consistency in CS-FFS implementation across diverse regions and sectors, supporting the programme's overarching goals of empowering farmers, building climate resilience, and achieving sustainable agricultural production and improved livelihoods. -

No results found.This document, Part 3: Farmer Field School one-curriculum, is a crucial component of the standardized curriculum package designed for the Climate-smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative in Jordan. Launched under the “Building resilience to cope with climate change in Jordan through improving water use efficiency in the agriculture sector" (BRCCJ) project, this initiative aims to empower smallholder farmers to improve water use efficiency and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. The comprehensive curriculum consists of six distinct parts, providing a structured framework for disseminating climate-smart agriculture (CSA) knowledge and technologies through participatory learning and capacity development, enabling smallholder farmers to make informed decisions and implement sustainable agricultural practices. Part 3 outlines the fundamental concepts and methods of the Climate-smart Farmer Field School, aligning with the FAO Farmer Field School Guidance Document. By promoting a "learning by doing" methodology, it empowers farmers to build climate resilience and contribute to enhanced food security, sustainable agricultural production, and improved livelihoods. The CS-FFS one-curriculum aims to achieve several key objectives: enhance the effectiveness of Farmer Field School implementation, fostering continuous improvement and adaptation to evolving agricultural challenges; improve the CS-FFS methodology, aligning it with the latest climate-smart technologies and best practices; and standardize CS-FFS implementation to ensure consistency and quality across diverse regions and production systems. This resource serves as a practical guide for both farmers and facilitators involved in the FFS modules, offering a pathway towards a more resilient and sustainable agriculture sector in Jordan by fostering participatory learning, knowledge sharing, and the adoption of climate-smart technologies. -

No results found.This learning brief documents learning around promising programme approaches that can support decision-making and resource allocation processes towards durable solutions to food crises. More specifically it provides an overview of the linkages between the conflict-sensitive programming approach undertaken by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Somalia and the related adjustments into the Global Network against Food Crises (GNAFC) project implementation. The brief showcases key learning on the role of water governance in reducing local-level natural resource-based conflict in the Lower Shabelle region of Somalia. Conflict‑sensitive programming - informed by a context analysis – is a fundamental requirement so that projects and programmes are undertaken with a clear understanding of contextual dynamics, thereby lessening their potential to exacerbate tensions, disputes, and conflicts while enhancing contributions to sustaining peace. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureImproving food security and nutrition through cash+ in Kyrgyzstan
Combining cash transfers with productive assets, inputs, agricultural and nutrition trainings to support vulnerable and poor rural households in Jalal-Abad province
2024Also available in:
No results found.Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked, lower-middle-income country in Central Asia with a population of 7 million. Between 2012 and 2019 the level of poverty declined significantly, but poverty rates in rural areas remained higher than in urban areas, with healthy diets unaffordable for 48 percent of the rural population and a stunting prevalence of 11.8 percent in 2018. Against this background, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) implemented the project “Developing capacity for strengthening food security and nutrition in selected countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia” which sought to improve the livelihoods, productive capacities, and food and nutrition security of poor and vulnerable households. This promising practice factsheet documents the intervention implemented in Kyrgyzstan from late 2017 to the end of 2018, with selected beneficiaries among households benefiting from the country’s main social assistance programme, which transfers cash assistance every month to households with children under 16 years of age and with earnings below the country’s guaranteed minimum income. The FAO cash+ intervention aimed to support livelihoods enhancement and agricultural productive capacities of beneficiaries while improving their knowledge of nutrition. The intervention benefited from a coherent and multisectoral approach that combined social protection and agricultural assistance to deliver positive changes in terms of food security, nutrition, income and livelihoods. As a result, it attracted the interest of both the government and the beneficiaries, with good local ownership and strong support from local administrations.
