The training is designed to stimulate active learning by participants who draw on their own experience, an approach which mirrors the type of interaction between facilitator and farmers in Participatory Technology Development (PTD).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePTD in agriculture is a process of interaction between local people and outside facilitators to develop more sustainable farming systems. It starts with a joint analysis of the situation, an activity commonly known as PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal). It continues by including participatory planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of local development activities. The heart of PTD is experimentation with new ideas designed and conducted by farmers with the encouragement of PTD practitioners.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50702226260130,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/developing-technology-with-farmers_thumbnail.jpg?v=1792678959","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/developing-technology-with-farmers-a-trainers-guide-for-participatory-learning-by-henk-de-zeeuw-ann-waters-bayer-laurens-van-veldhuzen","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
