Farmer Field Schools: From IPM to Platforms for Learning and Empowerment (2003)

Published by CIP-UPWARD in collaboration with FIELD Indonesia and The Rockefeller Foundation   

This publication features highlights of the International Learning Workshop on Farmer Field Schools: Emerging Issues and Challenges, held in Indonesia on 21-25 October 2002. It synthesizes global experiences in FFS derived from 30 case and thematic papers, and outputs of the small-group and plenary discussions. The key lessons, issues and challenges cover the following: 1) adaptation of FFS from rice IPM to other crops, systems and constraints; 2) application of FFS for research and development, training and extension, and other learning purposes; 3) FFS institutionalization, scaling up and policy development; and 4) FFS monitoring and evaluation. This publication is the first in a series of Workshop outputs which also include a volume of papers and a CD-ROM documentation of the activity.
