Session 6: Engaging farmers in agrometeorological decision-making: Integrating scientific and indigenous knowledge (experiences from Bolivia, Kenya and Indonesia).
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the sixth session of the Global Farmer Field School (FFS) Platform Webinar Series on Climate Change, focusing on engaging farmers in agrometeorological decision-making and integrating scientific and indigenous knowledge for climate resilience through FFS.
Building on the discussions from earlier sessions, this event will highlight how Farmer Field Schools can serve as bridges between local knowledge and scientific climate information, empowering farmers to interpret, validate, and use climate information in their daily decision-making.
