2.1 Breve descripción del Enfoque

Increasing farmers' outputs through use of extension advisory service on flat area of land.

2.2 Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST

Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST:

Aims / objectives: The main aim was to provide technical skills together with knowledge to farmers . It involves organizing of trainings through workshops mainly held on each parish of Kasasa sub county.

Methods: In implementation and adopting this approach various methods were used. These include organizing, training, between the farmers and the extension advisors (NAADS staff).
Demonstration was also used through farmer field schools through which farmers gain knowledge skills on how to apply the technology in their own gardens. This demonstration was at Mr. Kateregga Johnsons' garden.

Role of stakeholders: Farmers provided labour and at the same time acted as decision makers.
