⁣Agroforestry - How it Works

Greenhouse farming in Jamaica has become a popular solution for growing crops in Jamaica. This video shows Noranda Bauxite company's involvement in the development of the St. Ann greenhouse project.

As an introduction, this film shows how NGOs use the Living Classroom series as integral to their training, using pause-points and practical lessons outside to encourage thinking about different ideas and techniques. When the films were piloted with farmers in Swaziland, data was captured on changes in participant knowledge and comprehension.

Without prior knowledge on the topic/film, the knowledge baseline was 24%; after watching the film once without pausing for discussion, this increased to 57%; and when facilitated with pause-points for discussion, this increased to 78%.

Using Living Classroom films as part of facilitated co-learning therefore represented an increase of over 325%.

This film shows how Swazi NGO, Guba has used the Living Classroom, as part of its interactive facilitation.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a global challenge, becoming acute in the face of climate change, natural resource degradation, and diseases affecting humans, animals and plants. Technologies and practices that promote sustainable intensification on smallholder farms vary spatially according to the diverse ways in which economic transformation and population dynamics are influencing the costs of land, farm labor, and cash inputs such as fertilizers and improved seeds. At this seminar we reflect on how to achieve sustainable productivity gains through investments in soil health and knowledge. Reports have been commissioned on pioneering efforts in East and Southern Africa to engage and empower farmers and communities through approaches that specifically support disadvantaged youth and women. Highlights include innovations in extension, soil health monitoring and agricultural policy around sustainable intensification. Firsthand experiences were shared on how to scale out bidirectional learning and access to inputs, to address food security, and simultaneously, environmental security. A panel of experts reflected on the frontline experiences presented, and considered how sustainable agriculture intensification can be further supported and scaled out, in a rapidly changing world. This was a unique opportunity for lessons to be synthesized from cutting-edge innovations in soil health for SDG.
