Community Pathways

TT+ Screening varieties, composting, side dressing, demonstrations by farmers

FtF/FV Farmer innovations show and tell; field visits

SG Book keeping, cultural surveys

FFS IPPM, dairy, poultry, processing – management issues; counter-intuitive (e.g. secondary pest, OM) - testing

FFS+ Technical plus health, nutrition, literacy

PAR Participatory action research; testing locally new methods/varieties; improving agronomic practices; (CIAL)
