29 November 2022. Farmer-led research: Experience in influencing policymakers and building partnerships
Objectives : The main goal of this action is to drive a transition towards resilient, productive and sustainable agroecological food systems through farmer-led innovation and research.
Localisation: 16 countries in Africa (Burkina, Mali, Senegal, Cameroun, Burundi, RDC, Madagascar, Tanzania), Asia (Philippines), Pacific (Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands and Samoa), Caribbean (Haiti) and Latin America (Brazil & Uruguay)
This document is divided into four parts. The first part defines FSS and the principles of the approach, followed by details of the methods commonly used to assess FSS and the challenges involved. The third part presents a comprehensive assessment method using a case study in northern Togo. The final part of the report provides a basis for placing the proposed method within the process of designing an assessment for a project involving FSS.
As part of the exchange between FO-RI partners, regional farmers organisations (RFOs) shared their experience in:
- Policy development processes, when possible related to agroecology, based on evidence and research, including partnerships creation,
- The development of specific communication materials/policy briefs, and
- Exchange on issues relevant to the action research partners.

The elements of the FFS assessment methodology presented here stem from the collaboration between three institutions, CIRAD, FAO, and the NGO AVSF (Agronomists and Veterinarians Without Borders), and fieldwork carried out in cotton-growing areas of Burkina Faso and Togo between 2018 and 2019.
