Where Are We Going?

The information that your community can provide is very useful. It is first-hand knowledge because it is very close to people's experiences. This information could be better used and analyzed to get a clear understanding of what is needed from the people who participate. You should also consider inviting the participants to community activities, as well as introducing and expressing your gratitude to all of them.

Here are some useful questions for your inquiry. In assembly, choose five of them or propose some others that may be helpful in this project.

What is a crop?

What kinds of crops are there?

What are agroecological cultivation practices?

iWhat is a traditional production system?

How do certain kinds of cultivation practices affect the environment?

What kinds of cultivation methods are there in your community?
