Abstract

Short learning videos that capture new or improved agricultural technologies and practices are created by farmers, for farmers. These videos, available on the Digital Green Web site, are shared among similar communities through facilitated discussion.

Uses Digital Green approach which aims to raise the livelihoods of smallholder farmers through targeted production and dissemination of agricultural information via participatory video and mediated instruction. The farmers are in control of the entire production. They highlight benefits and pros and cons in their own way, using their own experience and their own particular settings.
