Farmer Field Schools contribute to improving Avocado production in Qalqilya Governorate, Palestine

Farmer Field Schools (FFS) have been used as a way to enhance local farming techniques through targeted capacity development activities delivered in the form of on-the-job training to Palestinian farmers. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), under the regional project “Implementing the 2030 Agenda for water efficiency/productivity and water sustainability in NENA countries”, in collaboration with the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and the Qalqilya Agricultural Directorate, began preparations to launch two avocado FFSs in Qalqilya Governorate, one in the north (Jayyus-Falamya district) and one in the south (Qalqilya-Habla district), which by February 2021 were active. Trainings are delivered to groups of 15 to 20 farmers and focus on imparting good agricultural practices related mainly to water usage, modern crop management methods, reduction of chemical pesticides and proper disease and pest control, resulting in decreased input costs and increased economic return and resilience of farmers, and enhanced water productivity per drop.
