Administración agricola    
        
La agricultura es la columna vertebral de la economía rural. Es fundamental como actividad de supervivencia y también como fuente de ingresos para mucha gente. Los proveedores de servicios financieros para las áreas rurales, necesitan comprender como funciona la producción agrícola y sus elementos de mercado, de manera que puedan ofrecer consultoría a sus clientes sobre decisiones de inversión. Los consultores agrícolas necesitan también estar conscientes de las implicaciones financieras que podría provocar su asistencia técnica y deben tener presente que reforzar los sistemas de vida y desarrollo de la gente significa no ponerlos en riesgo con decisiones de inversiones poco prudentes.

Resumen / DescripciónThe aim of those who developed the idea of the Farmers’ Life School (FLS) was to find ways to help farming communities not only to perceive that they could have a better future, but also that they could take control of their own development. An FLS is a school that is created for a by villagers. The participants are people from the village. The facilitators are usually graduates from FLSs. The objective of a FLS is:
  • To provide a free forum for discussion
  • To provide the tools for community empowerment by developing skills which help one to identify and analyse problems that exist in the village
  • To place prime importance on local knowledge and resources to initiate changes
  • To understand the vulnerability that each individual and family member has to common community problems
  • To build the social capacity of the community through critical decision-making, thus alleviating the stresses of development and creating community resilience
This manual is intended primarily for use by facilitators of the FLS who have graduated from a Farmers’ Field School and a FLS, by adult educators or NGOs and community-based organisations with experience in participatory learning and people interested in introducing the FLS course into their own programmes. The FLS can be used in either community-based programmes or it can be adapted for formal educational settings.

The aim of the manual is to provide a framework to confront local concerns that face a community. The FLS is aimed at building on the risk assessment knowledge that farmers already have through a holistic approach. Proactive change is implemented through emphasising the importance of local resources and networks. Ultimately, the goal is to enable farmers to become effective decision-makers in their own lives, the lives of their families and in their community.

The manual begins with background information on FLSs and sets out general guidelines and preparation notes for starting a FLS. The main part of the training manual covers the actual curriculum. This is broken down into 16 sessions. The beginning of each section notes the objectives for that particular part of the programme and describes any material required. The key activities are then detailed in a number of easy to follow steps. The sessions covered are:
