Access Agriculture: Video-mediated farmer-to-farmer learning for sustainable agriculture
Access Agriculture (AA) is a global initiative aiming at providing easy access to agricultural learning through training videos of quality. From the production to the dissemination, farmers and rural advisory service providers will be involved in the making of the agricultural films, made accessible through multiple media such as the internet, DVDs and radio. Strong partnerships with networks of farmers, advisory service providers and the agro-food industry are a cornerstone of this initiative.

Contesto |
Farmers in the developing world often lack the appropriate training and advice to optimise and adjust their farming practices, and require better access to information, inputs and markets. Scattered, of limited quality and with a relatively weak outreach in many contexts, rural advisory services to farmers may be improved if service providers can more easily access quality training material on agricultural practices through video media. |
Obiettivi |
The overall goal of this initiative is to strengthen capacities of and linkages between multiple stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of producing, disseminating and using agricultural training videos to improve farmers’ food security and livelihoods. |
Gruppi target |
Rural advisory service providers and farmers in six African countries: Benin, Mali, Uganda, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt. Rural advisory service networks and agro-food industry internationally. |
