Resumen
Descripción
The farm business school (FBS) experience in Lebanon garnered broad interest in the country and regionally, from grassroots farming communities to development organizations and public institutions. Based on the initial results, the Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture embraced the FBS approach and integrated it into different programmes. Farmers elicited facilitators' support in establishing additional farm business schools. Local municipalities extended their patronage to the initiative. Local and international NGOs expressed interest in replicating the FBS as part of their interventions. Following the pilot experience, the FBS approach has been integrated into several FAO programmes in the country. The experience offers good learning for planning and integrating FBS in future programmes and projects.
