| description |
The link between the documentation of
local knowledge and the dissemination of useful local
technologies to farmers is generally weak in the indigenous
technology development process. To fill gap, the Uluguru
Mountains Agricultural Development Project (UMADEP) has been
working with local farmers to document their local knowledge
related to Natural Crop Protection (NCP) and to spread this
knowledge to other farmers in the Uluguru Mountains using
interesting and locally relevant education materials and
farmer-led training workshops. The approach used by UMADEP
involoves the local communities throughout the process of
collection of the knowledge, documentation, and
dissemination. In order to effectively communicate the
message about NCP to communities UMADEP developed visual
materials with simple instructions about the use of
botanicals and with illustrations done in a comic book
style. The production of posters adopted the following steps
and approaches by: a) accessing the know-how of the
innovation, b) defining communication needs; c) targeting
the audience; d) visualization and production of artwork; e)
field testing; and f) farmer-to-farmer dissemination. |
