'Observation Is Everything' at Farmer Field Schools
The Farming WorldAvailable for over a year
After getting good results in Asia, Farmer Field Schools have arrived in Ghana. Farmers who are unable to go to school or college instead learn from a detailed observation of the ecology of their own land. Part of the aim is to pass on farming techniques that get good yields without expensive agrochemicals.
