Extension--Outreach to Farmers
The project's extension directive promotes participatory exchange of climate and agricultural knowledge among farmers, extension educators and the project team.
An expansive network of established and newly initiated farmer groups serve as the structure for evaluating the crop management practices being tested across the field research sites. Extension professionals are experienced in testing new technologies, strategies and group techniques to encourage farmer learning and implementation of appropriate adaptive management approaches.
