Farmers learn from each other in Mali
Peer-to-peer learning among farmers is helping spread new concepts and techniques of sorghum and millet production among farmers in Sikasso and Mopti regions of Mali. It is also facilitating farmers’ access to production systems of these commodities.
To facilitate cross-learning, a series of farmer exchange visits were held during a Farmer Field School (FFS) and involved not only the targeted producers but also producers from neighboring villages outside of the project facilitating these efforts.

The field days were organized by Catholic Relief Services (CRS) (a project partner). Read more: www.icrisat.org/newsroom/latest-news/happenings/happening...
