We have acquired a good understanding of the challenges affecting agricultural systems as well as the most appropriate and affordable solutions. The experiential learning process is highly relevant given the damages that we have been facing these recent 2 decades with regards to progressive collapse of the local banana industry following the widespread of the banana bunchy top disease (BBTD). Through FFS, different key operations, based on technologies which are easily accessible and affordable by a great majority us farmers, have been lively demonstrated in a very participatory exercise. Innovative practices like hot water treatment to eliminate negative effects of banana weevils without relying on chemical pesticides are providing a significant contribution to successful establishment of our banana fields.
