About Lesson
Process of FFS
- In FFS farmer participants meet for 14-16 weeks, from land preparation to crop harvest, and they are being facilitated by a trainer.
- Selection and initiation of an FFS depends upon the interest of the farmers, baseline survey, support from local leaders, gender matrix, and cropping calendars.
- Each FFS has at least 1000 m2 “learning field”.
- Each week farmers meet at the learning field and share new ideas. So, FFS helps farmers learn with farmers and makes farmers arts in the fields.
