TRAINING IN THE APPROACH

The team behind the Organic FFLG Academy have developed a guide for those that are involved with organic small scale farming to promote organic resilient farming methods, offer practical advice for sustainability of small scale family farms, meaningful marketing of organic products from small scale family farms, advocating for supportive conditions to implement organic farming and; strengthening farmer institutions enabling a dignified livelihood for farmer families. The guide contains details on farmer institutions for implementing the FFLG approach. It also guides on the course on FFLG approach for those that guide the facilitators’ course and then guidance to the Facilitators of organic Farmer Family learning Groups (FFLG) during the practical participatory process of developing organic family farms in the FFLG.

In addition to the practical guide, we have developed a handbook for FFLG facilitators with relevant tools to be used in the FFLG facilitation, from nutrient cycling to bulking.
