This is farmer field school. Or at least a part of it called the AgroEcosystems Analysis. The idea is that farmers observe real field situations, and draw their own conclusions, and learn from each other. Among other things, the system is designed to break out of the mentality that organizations do all the teaching and farmers do all the learning. Here you see the result of the staff testing the idea, making observations and drawings of a plant in the field, in this case, velvet bean. I took a picture of the field where this observation was done just a few days back, for those that are keeping track.
