The farmers to farmer extension system
- Under this program, promising technologies are tested and validated in the field of experience leader farmer.
- The better performed technologies are disseminated through farmers in their communities.
- Experience leader farmer serves as a resource person, extension agent and agriculture development facilitator.
- The resource person is an innovative farmer who is willing to share his/her knowledge of agriculture to his/her neighborhood and community with a reasonable cost of services.
- The resource persons are developed under different series of training and filed coaching by program staff and line agencies.
- The resource person is also used for planning, prioritizing the agriculture activities in the VDC.
- This extension approach has continued to prove itself as an effective means of reaching poor and disadvantaged farmers in all parts of the district.
