This report opens up a detailed discussion on the fundamentals of farmer field school approach and the programme strategies employed to achieve the stipulated objectives and to sustain them. It exposes the fact that the DZLiSPP during the course of programme implementation has deviated from employing the proposed group based experimental learning tool constructed on the principle that ‘adults learn best from experience’.
