  3. Approach • Establish a team of facilitators, incl. training (ToT) • Conduct season long training (FFS) • Establish Interest Groups among the FFS graduate (only interested people participate)

  4. Approach • The preferred approach is to create a team of locally based and known facilitators who speaks the local language and Kinh

  5. Approach • Then provide technical training to farmers through participatory training methodologies (Farmer Field Schools)

  6. Approach • The Farmer Field School training provides the farmers with technical knowledge which usually enable the farmers to increase their income significantly

  7. Approach • and it also clearly display the advantages of collaboration to the participants. • Therefore the farmers like to form the “Farmer Interest Groups”

  8. Basic Principles of FFS • The farmers are participating in weekly meetings during a full cropping season. • They learn important ecological principles by managing learning plots and experiments themselves. • 30 farmers form an FFS that is facilitated by two trainers. The discussion between farmers is the pulling force in FFS

  9. Basic Principles of FFS • The FFS approach uses discovery based learning methods to improve the farmers' agro-ecological knowledge. • Each FFS has one IPM plot managed by the participants, one experimental plot and one plot cultivated in the way normally used by farmers. • The farmers will observe the biology through AESA, and make drawings of their findings. No books are used

  19. Maize FFS • Farmers who have participated in a FFS have improved their collaborative skills • The FFS are very useful as a tool for sustainable group formation

  20. Group establishment

  21. Income generating activities • Production planning • Contract negotiation • Production cost reduction • Common production • Service deliveries • Organise credit • Procurements • Marketing • Take over parts of the value chain

  25. Group activities

  26. Group C.D. activities
