Location: Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Senegal
Successful implementation of field-based learning in Farmer Field Schools (FFS) has facilitated ecologically resilient farming systems in West Africa. By creating a knowledge base of locally adapted best practices and revitalizing farmer and agricultural extension networks, the West African Integrated Production and Pest Management Program improves regional food security, while reversing the environmental degradation associated with conventional farming practices.
