Building resilient agricultural systems through farmer field schools - IPPM programme
Since 2001, the Integrated Production and Pest Management Programme (IPPM) has worked with more than 180 000 farmers in West Africa to build more productive and resilient agricultural systems. Based on a well-tested farmer field school (FFS) approach, this participatory, community-based educational method combines principles and practices from community development, non-formal education, agroecology and adaptive ecosystem management.
