In organic farming, plants should primarily be fed through the soil ecosystem, therefore fertilisation focuses on feeding the soil life. Organic farmers rely on biological nitrogen fixation by legumes, complemented by recycling, regeneration and/or addition of organic materials and nutrients. Among the external inputs used for organic plant nutrition, manures...

A growing number of poultry farmer field schools (FFS) are being implemented in developing countries by a wide range of actors. Experience over the past two decades has shown that good-quality facilitation and learning activities are key to the success and long-term sustainability of poultry FFS.
