Mixed-method study finds significant adoption of sustainable practices in small farmers, suggesting effectiveness of training.
Farmer-Field Schools (FFSs) have been used in various agricultural contexts to promote sustainable practices among small farmers. The study employed a mixed-method approach combining surveys with qualitative interviews, focusing on data collected from to . A significant proportion (45%) of small farmers adopted sustainable practices following participation in FFSs, highlighting the effectiveness of this training method. FFSs are a viable and effective strategy for promoting sustainable agriculture among small farmers in Zimbabwe's Midlands Province. Continued support for FFSs is recommended to ensure long-term sustainability and further research should be conducted on scalability and impact over time.
