    This document, Part 6: Farmer Field School digital support of this curriculum, delves into the integration of digital tools within the Climate-smart Farmer Field School (CS-FFS) model. Recognizing the vital role of digital support in modern agriculture, particularly in the face of climate change, this module equips both facilitators and farmers with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilize these technologies. Participants will explore a range of digital tools, from sensors and precision agriculture technologies to mobile applications and online platforms, understanding their potential to enhance CS-FFS activities and promote climate-smart agriculture in Jordan. The module emphasizes the practical application of these tools for tasks like problem diagnosis, information access, communication, and monitoring, while also addressing potential challenges and barriers to adoption. By fostering digital literacy and encouraging the use of technology, this module empowers farmers to make informed decisions, improve their farming practices, and build resilience in a changing climate. Ultimately, it contributes to the overarching goal of the curriculum: to promote sustainable agriculture and enhance food security in Jordan.

    The climate-smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative for smallholder farmers in Jordan has been launched under the project Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan Through Improving Water Use Efficiency in the Agriculture Sector (BRCCJ). A suite of climate-smart FFS training materials has been developed for different crops, cropping systems, and climate-smart agriculture technologies. The curriculum has six modules, namely, Module 1: Climate-smart integrated homestead gardening, Module 2: Climate-smart hydroponic leafy vegetable production, Module 3: Climate-smart integrated fruit orchards, Module 4: Climate-smart high-value vegetable agribusiness, Module 5: Climate-smart rainfed wheat and barley, and Module 6: Climate-smart livestock fodder bank. In support of the modules, catalogues for climate-smart agriculture technology have been developed to aid facilitators and farmer learning.In this module, several essential climate-smart technologies that are instrumental in establishing and managing successful smart livestock fodder bank in the project areas in Jordan have been introduced, including the cocoons, and azolla hydroponic fodder production.By promoting sustainable food production and enhancing climate resilience, this module offers a promising pathway towards adapting to climate change and water scarcity while achieving food security, livelihood improvements, and environmental sustainability in Jordan's agriculture sector.
