Increasing attention is being given to
indigenous innovation in agriculture - the process by which
farmers develop new and better ways of doing things,
primarily using local resources and on their own initiative,
without pressure or direct support from formal research or
development agents. In this process, farmers have developed
not only better farming techniques but also better ways of
organizing themselves. In the Yatenga Region of Burkina
Faso, local improvements on a traditional farming technique
have become very widespread, largely on account of the
innovativeness of farmers in developing their own forms of
farmer-to-farmer extension. They have found highly effective
ways of spreading their ideas and encouraging other farmers
to try them out. |
