This is a case study conducted in Senegal, designed to address one key question: What do farmers already understand about climate change?
This is a learning modules and exercises that Farmer Field School practitioners can use with farming communities for community-based adaptation planning.
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.
