最佳实践的简短描述

Farmer Led Documentation (FLD) is an empowering process in which local communities take the lead role in the documentation process.FLD ensures that relevant experiences and good practices at the community level are visible as a starting point for further Farmer Led agricultural development. FLD is an approach that was developed as a participatory communication strategy that would involve the farmers directly thus reversing the traditional cycle of government and development agents bringing information as well as services and impressing them on the local farmers. The FLD approach provides local farmers with a role of being their own knowledge managers, problem solvers and decision makers.|

最佳实践解决的主要问题

Farmers have a lot of hidden expert knowledge which could be harnessed to solve their day to day problems. The farmers needed and were willing to document this knowledge and share it with others if they were allowed to take the lead in the process.|Farmers were faced with the challenge of illiteracy, financial constraints, lack of advanced technologies and lack of skills to document. FLD was to address these challenges by encouraging participation of the marginalized groups, use of the locally available documentation methods to ensure sustainability.

具体说明最佳实践的目标

To enhance and strengthen the capacity of farmers to document their knowledge and experiences for shared learning horizontally and vertically.|To build the capacity of development practitioners to integrate FLD into their work.|To enhance and strengthen networking and information sharing on FLD.|To strengthen, promote and upscale FLD methodologies and practices among farming communities and development practioners.

按目标对主要活动进行简要的描述

An exchange and dissemination workshop on FLD.|FLD integrated into the different development organisations projects and programmes.
Implement 6 diverse FLD methodologies which ensure at least 50% participation of marginalized groups piloted and shared widely.|Building the capacity of Farmer led and Farmer Oriented networks and organisations enhanced in the use of FLD for advocacy and lobbying.

本技术的简要说明和技术规范

Farmer Led Documentation is a technology where by the Small Scale farmers take the lead role in documenting their farming practices. FLD involves the use of locally and readily available documentation methodologies like pictures, note taking, songs, recordkeeping and many others.|

All the stakeholders listed above played the role of implementing the FLD Pilot project with their respective farmer communities by integrating in their already existing projects. They used technologies like still photos and record keeping.

居住在该地区和/或附近的居民是否参与了该技术的开发？

是

通过什么手段？:

• 参与途径

描述现场影响（按类别划分的两类主要影响）

• Culturally farmers would document through telling short stories, music, myths and drawings. FLD encourages the use of these practices as documentation methodologies, therefore it encourage the use of cultural practices.|
Documentation in the farms (book keeping) and at trainings by the farmers helps them keep a close eye on the progress of their plants and knowing what to do in case of any problem. This guarantees improvement in production/productivity.
• Book keeping/record keeping has always been a good practice therefore farmers that practice FLD by keeping track of their expenditure and income became more economically stable.
Farmer experiences in conservation farming practices for adaptation to climate change and FLD were documentated, shared within the community and disseminated i.e. publication on farmers’ experience with conservation farming was produced. |

对生物多样性和气候变化的影响

解释原因:

While farmer Led documentation does not directly impact on bio dirservity. The improvement in farmer farming practices through documentation leads to positive impact in bio diversity conservation.

您能否确定目前最佳实践/技术成功的三个主要条件？

Highly motivated development organizations that were willing to integrate FLD within their already existing project and programmes. This is shows that FLD is replicable elsewhere as long as the development organisations and agents(NGOs), local governments are willing to work together to build the capacity of the small scale farmers.|

人力资源相关

It is important to consider all aspects of human resource in FLD projects

与技术方面有关

A difference was made by participation of farmers. It enriched the knowledge sharing process as they understood issues better. By taking the lead, farmers were empowered to own the process and the knowledge.|
