Take it To the Farmer
![Page 3: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Impetus
• Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are:– varieties (seeds);– cropping practices;– machinery / devices / technologies; – market/other information
Which farmers can use now to:– increase yields;– combat disease, drought, climate variability, reduced inputs, and other
challenges;– limit other risks to their incomes and livelihoods

Alternatives ?
“Offer To The Farmer”
“Work With The Farmer”
“Let The Farmer Decide”
‘Answers’ developed with farmers. Not top-down. TTF is a movement which requires, on the part of partners:
Humility Respect Openness
Creativity Determination
![Page 5: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Key Components• Working WITH farmers
– iterative process of showing farmers technology, learning from them, improving / modifying the technology, showing again, etc.
• Regional – countries have different agroeconomic / climatic zones
• Hubs– regional nodes in a network hub.pptx
– (partly) replicable Replic.pptx
• Supporting Communications• Systems approach
– different crops, different agronomic practices, different approaches to mechanization, different cost structures
• Impact driven– easily quantifiable impacts, many in $ terms

TTF
TTF success will depend on
commitment to success by CIMMYT and other TTF collaborators
and joint commitment to TTF principles.

Conservation Agriculture
• Comprises three basic components Soil surface cover => rational Minimal soil movement Crop rotation => economical

The hub concept• benchmark sites for research on the impacts
of CA • focal point for regional (agro-ecological)
capacity-building and scaling out of research and innovation systems
• regional CA networks are established to facilitate and foment research and extension of CA innovation systems and technologies
• example of the functionality of CA systems
![Page 22: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• structure to work together with partners including farmers – to test various best-bet technology options with
farmers– to integrate these options to improve farm level
economics and family well-being– to provide a demonstration platform to extend
these technologies to surrounding farmers– to provide a training/demonstration platform to
bring together all actors from other areas with similar production systems and conditions
– to provide a platform to do relevant research– To integrate the production chain around
common objective

Interventions
• Socio-economic evaluations to optimize the value chain
• Varieties• Conservation agriculture based cropping
systems• Fertility management• Post Harvest technologies• Capacity building
![Page 24: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Impacts
• Farmer leaders that are the center of a productive and integrated chain for a sustainab;e development of Mexican agriculture. – High and stable yields– Least impact on the environment– Highest income for the farmer.
• How to evaluate the impacts– Economic model– Conservation Earth

Appoaches
• TTF is the umbrella– SAGARPA– Monsanto project– Small projects
• The TTF buys capacity where it is best available => structure
• TTF builds the catalyzing structure to streamline existing funds
• Annual report => Stakeholders• PPP• Franchising => local initiatives
![Page 44: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Project up to now
• Uses the existing basis– Central Highland hubs => CA– Pacific north => CA + Sensor– Bajio => CA + Sensor– Chiapas
• General technical consultation• Hub meetings• Now we receive the P1, P2, P3 projects• Project structure with Working groups and regional
actions
![Page 45: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Project up to now
• Different working groups came together– Fertility!
• Training– Platform development– Tecnico certificado
• Hubs– 3 hubs fully operational– 2 in transition– 2 to be developed
![Page 46: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Challenging reality
• Broken public system => complex and heterogenic realities
• Competition between different actors• Non existing extension service• Weak human resources and education• No linkage between public and private sector• Miss-trust in private sector• Public policies => votes
![Page 47: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Successes• Farmer the central actor, the integrator of technological
options as well as actors• Accountable approach => BID buy inn• Tecnico certificado as a central driver• Marketing tools => How to change behavior• SEP integrated in the project• Very close integration of Universities (students), research
platforms and modules• Integration of the research network with the hub activities• Catalytic function• Hubs create a sense of market
![Page 48: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Challenges• Logistics
– MasAgro => politics– Integration of all components in 1 project and not
sub-projects– CIMMYT admin and embedded way of working– Not optimal prepared working groups
• Work with private partner technicians (Impulsora example)
![Page 49: Take it To the Farmer. Impetus Widespread acknowledgment that, worldwide, there are: – varieties (seeds); – cropping practices; – machinery / devices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a68744/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Challenges• Running behind the facts• INIFAP miss-trust (Maize)• How to structure the ‘organic’ development when
scaling out• ‘CIMMYT stealing the money’ => Fundaciones? • How to bring up to speed the hubs => human
resources, multi-taskers• Easy to fall back into linear thinking• Make people work together!
