Description

Dated: October 2024

The 'engage' step in the FRN process involves sharing the ideas and vision behind FRNs, engaging farmers in the process, and initiating working relationships with stakeholders and partners. In this section, you will find tools and guides aimed at helping understand and facilitate this process. Highlights Here are some of our favourite items from the collection: The Global Community Action Guides contain a wealth of practical information that will be invaluable in setting up any participatory research group, and throughout the research process. It also provides further tools, templates and suggested activities that could be adapted for use with FRNs. The short guides from the Best Bets project cover topics throughout the FRN process. The ones at this step focus on engaging and selecting farmers to work with, and (in French only at the moment) getting the community involved and setting up an experiment. Get Involved If you've used any of the resources in this collection, we'd love to know what you think! Get in touch and tell us about your experience. We're always looking to add to this collection. If you have any favourite guides, tools or other resources related to this step that you'd like to share, send us a message to tell us about it.
