Abstract/Description
Farmer Business School (FBS) is a participatory action learning process that involves farmer groups’ participation in agricultural value chains. As part of capacity strengthening, FBS comprises a series of group-based experiential learning activities over a production marketing cycle while interacting with other chain actors and stakeholders.
FBS approach was developed by the International Potato Center (CIP) in 2008 through the initiative of an Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR)-funded project that aims to link vegetable farmers with key markets in West and Central Java, Indonesia.
Building on the success of FBS in Indonesia, the FoodSTART project, led by CIP, has promoted its adoption in the framework of IFAD investments in Asia with the aim to strengthen farmers’ entrepreneurial capacity as they seek to participate in dynamic agricultural value chains.
