The FAO Forestry Department partnered with ACDI/VOCA and the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA), the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE), and other stakeholders to develop a training programme to apply the FFS approach to guide national and local efforts to integrate fruit and timber trees into agricultural production areas in Jamaica. This facilitator’s guide was developed to support agroforestry farmer field schools (AFFS) implementation in Jamaica.

This comprehensive guide accompanies the Learning Journey in Rwanda, known as the 'Land of a Thousand Hills' where the economy heavily relies on agriculture. This document presents a detailed look into Farmer Field Schools (FFS) established through the ACP MEAs 3 programme, highlighting innovative farmer initiatives and success stories. Within these pages, you will discover the outcomes of FFS trials with ecosystem-based practices, such as integrated pest management, biofertilizer and biopesticide application, mulching, and the restoration of local seed varieties.
