Methodology

FIPS-Africa develops and implements methodology to make the appropriate farm inputs more accessible to small farmers. The aim is to empower farmers to experiment with inputs in small affordable quantities. Farmers "learn-by-doing" on their own farms, and invariably return to their nearest farm input stockist to purchase larger quantities to improve their food security and/or income generation.

In this section, a number of methods are described to empower farmers to experiment with improved seeds, fertilizers and herbicides.
