描述

Diffusion of sustainable land management technologies through an effective farmer-to-farmer diffusion approach

Aims / objectives: Knowledge sharing through observation and experiments of self motivated individual farmers. The spillover of a technology/practice among farmers is simply motivated by good yield and other production factors of the technologies.

Methods: Farmer to farmer learning and adoption of new products/technology

Stages of implementation: Existing of best and new technologies, curiosity of farmers about the new product, experiment of the new products and adoption.

方法的类型
Farmer explaining to his neighbouring farmers the importance of the use of farmyard manure and mulching as source of crop nutrients, specifically on banana. (Kagabo Desire (RAB))

方法目标和有利环境

该方法的主要目的/目标
The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (maintenance of soil moisture and soil fertility)

Learning from others' experiences.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Low productivity of lands due to poor management of soil and low/none use of agricultural inputs. In addition, the problem is aggravated by inadequate soil erosion control measures.
推动实施本办法所应用技术的条件
阻碍实施本办法所应用技术的条件
  • 财务资源和服务的可用性/可得性: Lack of resources especially for soil erosion technologies that require heavy investments and mobilization of all stakeholders Treatment through the SLM Approach: Government support is required.
  • 了解SLM，获得技术支持: Soil fertility decline and soil degradation due to a lack of knowledge and resource in soil fertility management and on a better agriculture practice in banana field. Treatment through the SLM Approach: Creation of Innovation Platforms, watershed management committees, etc.

有关SLM技术选择的决策

决策是由......做出的

  • 仅限土地使用者（自主）
  • 主要是土地使用者，由SLM专家提供支持
  • 所有相关参与者，作为参与式方法的一部分
  • 主要是SLM专家，咨询土地使用者之后
  • 仅限SLM专家
  • 政治家和领袖

决策是基于

  • 对充分记录的SLM知识进行评估（基于证据的决策）
  • 研究结果
  • 个人经验和意见（无记录）

技术支持、能力建设和知识管理

以下活动或服务是该方法的一部分
能力建设/培训
向以下利益相关者提供培训
  • 土地使用者
  • 现场工作人员/顾问
培训形式
  • 在职
  • 农民对农民
  • 示范区域
  • 公开会议
  • 课程
涵盖的主题

soil moisture conservation and soil fertility improvement

咨询服务
已提供咨询服务
  • 在土地使用者的土地上
  • 在固定中心
Name of method used for advisory service: Extension; Key elements: farmer to farmer exchange visit

Advisory service is very adequate to ensure the continuation of land conservation activities; the impact of the technology on production is very high.
监测和评估
Economic / production aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations; indicators: Farmers observed that the yield increases due to the technology Area treated aspects were ad hoc monitored by government through observations No. of land users involved aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through measurements There were no changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation There were no changes in the Technology as a result of monitoring and evaluation

融资和外部物质支持

SLM组成部分的年度预算，以美元计算
  • < 2,000
  • 2,000-10,000
  • 10,000-100,000
  • 100,000-1,000,000
  • > 1,000,000
Precise annual budget: 不适用
Approach costs were met by the following donors: local community / land user(s) (land users): 90.0%; other (governmental SLM specialist): 10.0%
已向土地使用者提供以下服务或激励
  • 为土地使用者提供财政/物质支援
  • 特定投入的补贴
  • 信用
  • 其它激励或手段

影响分析和结论性陈述

方法的影响
否
是，很少
是，中等
是，支持力度很大
该方法是否帮助土地使用者实施和维护SLM技术？

Most of farmlands in the area and its surrounding have adopted the technology which highly reduced the soil erosion hence the increase of crop yield (probably due to the increasing of soil organic matter content).

x
Did the Approach lead to improved livelihoods / human well-being?

The approach helped to rapidly adopt the technology which in return improved the crop yield. Due to the efficiency of mulching in reducing soil erosion , the sustainability of land management has improved as a result.

x
土地使用者实施SLM的主要动机
方法活动的可持续性
土地使用者能否维持通过该方法实施的措施（无外部支持的情况下）？

Yes because farmers explain by their own to other farmers which facilitate the spreading of any technology quickly

结论和吸取的教训

长处: 土地使用者的观点
  • This approach can carry messages and content on other subjects than S.L.M. only (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: promote the approach as a general grassroots-based extension approach)
长处: 编制者或其他关键资源人员的观点
  • Both the service provider and the demand groups are local farmers; this approach therefore directly benefits only the local farming community (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: sensitization )
  • Technologies adopted through farmer-to-farmer diffusion are likely to be more stable and sustainable because innovative farmers will only disseminate successful technologies (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: sensitization )
弱点/缺点/风险: 土地使用者的观点如何克服
弱点/缺点/风险: 编制者或其他关键资源人员的观点如何克服
  • some farmers are resilient to help other sensitization and involvement of those resilient farmers in local decision making.
