Description

Demonstrating modern farm technology involves practical, on-site presentations and training to showcase advanced agricultural tools, machinery, and techniques. This strategy aims to accelerate adoption by farmers, addressing issues such as low productivity, resource inefficiency, and environmental degradation. By providing hands-on experience and evidence of benefits, it remedies resistance to change, improves knowledge transfer, and supports sustainable farming practices, ultimately enhancing food security and rural livelihoods.

Implementation

The International Centre for Research in Agroforestry holds in-service training programmes for professionals in "agroforestry research for development". Specialist workshops focus on experimental methods, information management, multipurpose tree improvement, education, and socio-economic and on-farm research.
