Description

The strategy that was implemented involved continuous interaction between researchers and farmers during the identification, testing and extension of agroforestry technologies. This enabled us to establish a strong partnership with farmer partners, understand their practices and find ways to improve and enhance such practices. Our strategy also included assisting a grassroots organization through capacity building to support the projects research and extension activities and build a

mechanism for the organization to sustain and extend its activities within the Manupali watershed and beyond. To follow is a detailed description of the strategy.
