Description Article
Farmer to Farmer (F2F) extension approach in agriculture is a systematically utilization of
community leadership and informal communication between farmers. This approach aims to strengthen
the information flow and enhance the agricultural production. As a generic term we use it as ‘farmertrainer’,
even though we recognise it by different names e.g. lead farmer, farmer-promoter, community
knowledge worker may imply different roles.F2F approach helps in building the effective, farmer-centred
extension systems and empowering farmers as change agents for improving livelihoods in their
communities.F2F model can reduce the extension cost and workload of extension functionaries in a
large country like India where extension worker and farmer ratio is very wide. Moreover, this approaches
needs community as well as government support for sustainability and scalability.
