This is a case study conducted in Senegal, designed to address one key question: What do farmers already understand about climate change?
In this document, we explore concrete experiences from Farmer Field School (FFS) practitioners on the critical steps before launching an FFS programme on climate change.
Panelists:
• Okoth James – Senior Programme Officer, FAO
• Paul Mutungi – Agriculture Officer, FAO
• Tiko Hema – Specialist in Monitoring, Evaluation, and Training in the FFS Approach, FAO
