This Resource Manual on IPPM ALS in Vegetables is a compilation of various documents on the production of commonly grown vegetable crops. This was developed basically for the facilitators and learners of the Children’s Participation in Integrated Production and Pest Management (CP IPPM) Program and the Integrated Production and Pest Management for the Alternative Learning System (IPPMALS) Program. The objective of this resource manual is to provide them a ready reference to complement the learning process in discovery-based IPPM ALS Session Guides that trainers will use in conducting FFS.
Building on shared experiences, experiments and knowledge acquired by farmers in Peru, this methodological guide includes a detailed section on the steps required to set up an FFS and its methodology and a second section on FFS for cacao cultivation in the different phenological stages. The document presents various diagnostic tools such as community and main cultivation mapping, ballot box, cultivation plans, such as matrix and cultivation cycle to analyse problems. The AESA is adapted to cacao production and includes a comparison of conventional and learning farm plots.
The proposed timeframe for the curriculum is three years. This guide aims to provide the elements required to apply the FFS methodology by employing a comprehensive farm management approach. The innovative perspective of this guide motivates learning beyond one crop and encourages understanding of the farm as a system. Diagnostic tools address the productive status of the various components of the farm and utilizes a planning matrix and future mapping.
This guide to Investing in Locally Controlled Forestry (ILCF) is an outcome of the Growing Forest Partnerships initiative that engaged The Forests Dialogue to co-ordinate 11 wideranging dialogues involving investors, rights-holders, governments, donors and others on this topic. It is primarily a tool for practical action and its advice draws on strong evidence showing that locally-controlled forestry enterprises can be successful, sustainable and profitable for all stakeholders.
En el proceso de gestión del conocimiento (científico, empírico u otro) para el desarrollo sostenible, el paso más crítico es lograr que el conocimiento generado llegue a ser conocido y adaptado por aquellos que más se beneficiarán del mismo. Este es el obstáculo más importante en los procesos de difusión y adaptación de nuevas prácticas, tecnologías y alternativas productivas.
