The poultry sector continues to grow and become industrialized in many parts of the world. However, small-scale, family-based poultry systems continue to play a crucial role in sustaining livelihoods in low- and middle-income countries, supplying nutritious animal source food to resource-poor and rural households, providing important support to women farmers, and playing specific and important socio-economic roles.

Achieving sustainable family poultry production in the face of variable farmgate prices, climate change, transboundary animal diseases, emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance and conflicts is a complex endeavour that requires feasible and innovative strategies that are appropriate to local cultural, economic, and geographical circumstances.

Through the education and empowerment of farmers, the farmer field school (FFS) approach can contribute to strengthening knowledge of holistic agro-ecosystem management, improving decision-making skills, facilitating group collaboration and encouraging local innovation, particularly by women and young people.

Join this webinar to learn how farmer field schools (FFS) can enable family poultry producers, both women and men, to achieve sustainable food production and livelihood and resilience improvements and to enhance their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The event will be held in English.
