1.4 SLM技术问卷的参考

2.1 该方法的简要说明

Farmer to farmer dissemination of information on no-till methods for garlic cultivation technology

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Aims / objectives: Farmers can learn about alternative or newer methods by sharing their experiences with one another. In this approach, farmers shared information and knowledge on no-till garlic cultivation technology.

Methods: Since no-till methods are not widely known in the area, the approach aimed to increase awareness of the many features of the technique and its benefits. Through farmer-to-farmer dissemination, communities can learn about the various aspects of no-till for crop residue management, resource use, and how it can reduce labour costs. These discussions highlight the environmental and social benefits of no-till methods especially with respect to moisture retention, soil and water conservation, and climate change adaptation.
In 2009, Local Initiatives for Biodiversity, Research, and Development (LI-BIRD), piloted and validated no-till farming in Nepal as a measure for soil and water conservation through the Western Terai Landscape Complex Project (WTLCP) and the Promoting Local Innovation (PROLINNOVA) programme. The dissemination was multi-faceted and the farmers remained engaged throughout the discussions, which included both talks and group participation. Farmers’ groups, community-based organizations, biodiversity conservation groups, and development committees at the village level were given training and technical inputs. This community-level interaction encouraged farmers to discuss with one another as well as to head out to the field for demonstrations and observations. After no-till garlic cultivation was successfully piloted, it was widely adopted by farming communities and especially the indigenous Tharu communities of western Nepal.

2.6 该方法的开始和终止日期

2.7 方法的类型

• 最近的本地倡议/创新

2.8 该方法的主要目的/目标

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (agricultural and livelihood related technology)

• To disseminate information and know-how on no-till methods
• To increase awareness among the farmers on the benefits of no-till methods and crop residue management
• To increase awareness of the environmental and social benefits of no-till methods and the role that it can play in adaptation to climate change

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: • Lack of awareness about low cost soil and water conservation technologies that address farmers' needs
• Initially there was weak institutional support for organizing discussion sessions

提供进一步细节:

LI-BIRD supported farmers groups, biodiversity conservation and development committees, and community-based organizations by providing hands-on training and technical support.

4.4 监测和评估

监测和评估是该方法的一部分吗？:

是

注释:

technical aspects were regular monitored by project staff, government, land users through observations; indicators: Regular observations by technical staff from LI-BIRD jointly with representatives from biodiversity conservation and development committees, farmers groups, and community-based organizations

socio-cultural aspects were regular monitored by project staff, land users through observations; indicators: Regular observations by technical staff from LI-BIRD jointly with representatives from biodiversity conservation and development committees, farmers groups, and community-based organizations

economic / production aspects were regular monitored by project staff, government, land users through observations

economic / production aspects were monitored by None through measurement

There were several changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: Several changes were observed. People learned both through discussions and by taking a hands-on approach. An initial attempt to replicate the method ended in failure. However, through discussions and technical inputs, the farmers were eventually able to replicate the method and it is now well understood.

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）？:

• 是

若是，请说明如何维持:

This technology has a high probability of being sustainable because it is cost effective and requires minimal technical input (farmers can do it on their own); moreover, it helps with soil conservation.

6.4 该方法的长处/优点

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会
Farmers can easily learn no-till techniques through community participation. The approach is sustainable because it is easy to implement and it appeals to farmers because they appreciate it as a way of reducing labour and increasing crop yields. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Continue to give some minor technical support and encouragement.)
The approach focused on building capacity by using a hands-on approach similar to how farmers traditionally transfer know-how between themselves. Farmers can adapt and modify the technology as needed to deal with changing conditions in the environment. Financial inputs by external organizations are not needed. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Continue to give some minor technical support and encouragement.)

6.5 该方法的弱点/缺点以及克服它们的方法

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的弱点/缺点/风险	如何克服它们？
Market linkages are poor and the scope to scale up is also small.	The establishment of stronger market linkages would motivate farmers to attempt commercial cultivation.
