Resumen
Descripción
When the Arid Region Institute (Institut
des Régions Arides, IRA) in Médenine, Tunisia, set out to
seek the dynamics of IK in marginal rural areas of central
and southern Tunisia, it discovered a large number of
farmers -both men and women-who were developing their own
innovations without the support of formal research and
development services. In order to spread information about
these innovations and to forge links among farmer
innovators, and between these and other researchers and
extensionists, the multi-disciplinary research team at IRA
organized field visits. However, a much further-reaching
mechanism to disseminate and stimulate farmers' ideas
and experiments proved to be a weekly radio program on
agricultural innovation.
