Info

Information needs: ▪ Need knowledge of available information ▪ Info available on-line ▪ Information of what NGB etc. are doing ▪ Info about quality assurance systems ▪ Info about partners with different expertise in required areas. 3. Scientists and on-farm conservation ▪ Seed handling and storage by farmers is very poor – need to change this ▪ To do this need the necessary social skills – training ▪ Adapting and making small changes to storage methods ▪ Farmers need to buy in and see results for themselves ▪ Rather let other influential farmers that were worked with previously speak to other farmers. ▪ Participatory! ▪ Storage experiments Recommendations: ▪ Depending on resources can use different approaches - Surveys (Kenya) - Invite farmers to planning meetings (Ghana) - Get farmers to come to gene banks ▪ Enough resources - Hands-on approach ▪ Not enough resources - Other options such as training of influential people in communities “ex-situ” and then sending those back with knowledge, then take on a monitoring approach ▪ Transferring of knowledge - Using simple “charts” to make an impact on practices (visual aids) - local language at community level - Use templates of charts that can be adapted for each country and language 4. Equipment needs Country Needs Kenya ▪ Germination equipment ▪ Seed cleaning – blower Sudan ▪ Needs analysis Zambia ▪ Drier ▪ Germination equipment Lesotho ▪ Seed cleaning - blower ▪ Moisture meter ▪ Germination equipment ▪ Drier Equador ▪ Well equipped ▪ Maintenance of equipment ▪ Germinator ▪ Moisture meter Ghana ▪ No equipment yet ▪ Depends on location of regional facility South Africa ▪ Moisture meter - Rotronic
Top 5 equipment needs for group: ▪ Drier ▪ Seed blowers ▪ Power stabilizer and generator ▪ Germination equipment ▪ Moisture meter (non-destructive) - Rotronic What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I understand.
