2.1 该方法的简要说明

Farmers are organized to promote adoption of sustainable land management best practices within the community

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Aims / objectives: To train farmers in land based technologies that improve productivity, land management and are resilient to climate changes

Methods: Planning meetings, agro-ecosystem analysis (AESA), farmer-to-farmer visits, monitoring and evaluation

Stages of implementation: Farmer Field School (FFS) formation to bring together 30 farmers from a catchment area; training in group dynamics; training in best practices to address land degradation problems; AESA; and action planning

Role of stakeholders: District facilitators: Facilitation of FFS formation, training of trainers for AESA, drawing village land use plans, prioritizing enterprises/challenges, making technical recommendations; Local leaders: Passing and implementing bye-laws.

2.7 方法的类型

  • 基于项目/方案

2.8 该方法的主要目的/目标

The Approach focused on SLM only (Sustainable Land Management Farmer Cooperative)

To share knowledge, skills and information on establishment of local best practices to improve productivity and biodiversity and reduce soil erosion

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Low soil nutrient levels, vegetation loss and soil erosion on steep slopes

2.9 推动或妨碍实施本办法所适用的技术的条件

财务资源和服务的可用性/可得性
  • 阻碍

Inadequate resources because farming is mainly subsistent

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Farmers formed cooperatives to pool resources

了解SLM,获得技术支持
  • 阻碍

Little available information on addressing land management issues

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Trained facilitators were sourced to provide appropriate knowledge to address relevant constraints

工作量、人力资源可用性
  • 阻碍

Increased workload required in the implementation caused expenses on hired labor to rise.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Sharing workload through working together to dig up stones and carry them on steep slopes, lay them along contours and plant Ficus natalensis to stabilize the soil

3. 相关利益相关者的参与和角色

3.1 该方法涉及的利益相关者及其职责

  • 当地土地使用者/当地社区

Women constitute the majority of farmers in attendance because most agricultural production in the district is carried out by women, except in cattle-keeping areas where men are the majority

  • SLM专家/农业顾问
  • 地方政府

District facilitators were provided by the district local government

  • 国家政府(规划者、决策者)

Collaboration with the line Central Government Ministries through the Project Steering Committee at Permanent Secretary level

  • 国际组织

Kagera TAMP (FAO-GEF) provided funding for specialist facilitators

如果涉及多个利益相关者,请注明领导机构:

Kagera TAMP international specialists with the help of national FFS specialists

3.2 当地土地使用者/当地社区参与该方法的不同阶段
当地土地使用者/当地社区的参与 指定参与人员并描述活动
启动/动机 互动 FFS specialist facilitator with prospective FFS members to get farmers organized in FFS (30 members each)
计划 互动 Farmers in their farmer field schools sketched watershed maps and developed action plans with the help of district facilitators
实施 互动 Facilitators helped FFS members in the dynamics that sustained and strengthened the Approach
监测/评估 被动 A few members were co-opted to the monitoring team which comprised local government facilitators, Kagera TAMP Project specialists and the central government Project Steering Committee
Research 互动 FFS members carried out Agro-ecosystem Analysis (AESA) with training and field support from specialists

3.4 有关SLM技术选择的决策

具体说明谁有权决定选择要实施的技术:
  • 主要是土地使用者,由SLM专家提供支持
解释:

The FFS concept and methodology were introduced to the farmers by SLM specialists. The decisions on technology choice were the result of discussions bf the farmers with support from the specialists.

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by land users supported by SLM specialists. Farmers in the FFS decided how to overcome constraints posed by their hilly terrain and high cost of labor

4. 技术支持、能力建设和知识管理

4.1 能力建设/培训

是否为土地使用者/其他利益相关者提供培训?:

明确受训人员:
  • 土地使用者
  • 现场工作人员/顾问
  • Politicians/Policy Makers
培训形式:
  • 在职
  • 农民对农民
  • 示范区域
  • 公开会议
涵盖的主题:

Extension Training: use of demonstration plots and AESA to experiment and discover the appropriate methodology for implementation of SLM technologies. A formal session involves a facilitator and farmers. The facilitator guides the farmers on how to investigate a problem using marker-drawn sketches on flip chart. Observations, conclusions and recommendations are reached in a participatory manner.
Extension: FFS members adopt a resolution to carry out the recommended procedures/activities; community members are free to interact with FFS members on field days and copy recommendations. Farmer-to-farmer visits are encouraged and promoted to extend information.
Research: FFS members research together on a given problem/challenge such as soil fertility and arrive at recommendations together. They are guided by facilitators from government or government research institutions with collaborative support from Kagera TAMP/FAO project.
Importance of land use rights: Ownership of land affects land management practices. The attitude towards the recommendation by farmers is usually determined by the FFS members. In Kagera TAMP districts land ownership is customary but the right to use land is governed by national laws.
Incentives:
Labor: Farmer Field School members provide the labor to implement technologies. Hired labor may also be used.
Inputs: Farmers provide the basic tools such as hoes, pick axe etc. Seedlings and seeds may be provided by the project.
Credit: Small amounts may be acquired from the FFS cooperative savings.
