How do farmers change their practices at the farm level after co-design processes in Farmer Field Schools?
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...
