Farmers are increasingly recognized as the designers of their own production systems and face challenges that call for context-specific innovations. Co-designing innovations with farmers are one way to tailor options to local constraints and resources. However, studies on how farmers implement agroecological practices after a co-design process are rare, especially at the farm level.

This study analyses how farmers' implementation of technical innovations co-designed during Farmer Field Schools (FFS), adult education, and rural development approaches, bring farmers to change their practices at the farm level. It also explores whether the potential to induce changes at the farm level varies with the cropping system targeted by the FFS or with the gender of participants.
