dc.description.abstractThis technical guide seeks to help farmers and other land managers to better understand the technicalities of a range of innovative agroecological practices, and to share the acquired and applied knowledge with other interested farmers. The guide outlines the central technical aspects of selected innovative agroecological practices and procedures for setting up, implementing, and monitoring the testing of the selected innovative practices. This guide has been designed within the CGIAR Agroecology Initiative (AE-I). The Agroecology Initiative promotes the application of contextually appropriate agroecological principles by farmers and communities in various contexts, with support from other food system actors. Following a purposive engagement process that led to the participatory formulation of visions for an agroecological future, and a vision-to-action plan, the AE-I team and local partners co-designed innovative agroecologically-based on-farm practices. These practices were subsequently trialed by participating farmers to monitor and investigate their performance.
