Ffs training manual

The manual is meant as a supplement to the training for facilitators provided by FAO. It is not meant to replace training. While FAO deems intensive training to be a prerequisite for FFS facilitators, one objective of this manual is to simplify the FFS material for broader consumption while asserting FAO’s role in quality assurance. This guide has been designed as a collection of suggestions to refresh the memory of Farmer Field School (FFS) facilitators who graduated from a season-long TOT. It provides them with some practical information and tips for planning, running, and evaluating their FFS. It is not meant to be a training manual for new facilitators.

The development of this Training Manual is the result of experiences gained from a study tour to Sierra Leone and Ghana where the Ministries of Food and Agriculture and Food Security have adopted the Farmer Field School (FFS) extension knowledge transfer approach and methodologies. Farmer field school (FFS) is a group-based learning process that brings together concepts and methods from agro ecology, experiential education and community development. It also involves regular field observations and group analysis. It is a major undertaking towards the realization of sustainable agriculture as it helps farmers make their own.

Example problems illustrating the use and calculations required for Fitness-For-Service Assessments described in API /ASME FFS-1 are provided in this. A typical FFS consists of weeks of hands-on farmer experimentation and non-formal training during a single crop growing session. Farmers are expected to. farmers but to guide them through a learning process. Any FFS program starts with an intensive training of elected farmers to become good facilitators.
