The project has demonstrated the promotion of more sustainable agriculture through the Farmer Field School (FFS) extension approach. The project plans to scale up the project's experience through FFS to a wider area, and to develop this activity with the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture and the implementing agency in Oromia Region to disseminate improved techniques and climate change adaptation measures to a larger number of farmers.
