One such initiative is the Farmer Field School (FFS), an experiential learning approach originally developed in Southeast Asia for the integrated management of rice pests but adaptable to other crops and even to livestock and fisheries. The experiences in the use of FFS in other crops have been applied to cocoa in studies in the Central and Ashanti regions of Ghana. This study used a mixed method of group interviews, questionnaire survey and in-depth one-on-one interviews to elicit information from farmers in Atwima and Amansie-West districts of Ashanti where the sustainable tree crops programme (STCP) has been conducting FFSs since 2002, with the object of evaluating the extent to which the FFS approach could augment existing extension strategies in meeting farmers' information needs. The sample included participants and non-participants alike providing a basis for comparative analysis.
