Bunch, RolandCanas, Mateo2012-08-132012-08-132002-10https://hdl.handle.net/10986/10789The note examines the experience of self-developed technologies by farmer experimenters (FEs) in Honduras, based on a study by the Association of Advisors for a Sustainable, Ecological, and People-Centered Agriculture - COSECHA - and shows how FEs are capable of developing large numbers of significant, and original technologies, providing evidence that the collecting, and dissemination of FEs technologies in other nations, could be useful for institutions involved in agricultural development. The note further explores the participatory technology development, the results to date of the technologies discovered, and those promising technologies to be developed.CC BY 3.0 IGOFARMER ORGANIZATIONSFARMER CONTRIBUTIONSFARMERS ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGYTECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONSAGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONSPARTICIPATORY DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUESINSECT CONTROLFERTILIZATIONPLANT DISEASE CONTROLWEED CONTROLFOOD PREPARATIONANIMAL HUSBANDRYPLANT PROPAGATIONGREEN MANURESSOIL CONSERVATIONINFORMATION DISSEMINATION AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTUREAGROFORESTRYANIMAL FEEDANIMAL HUSBANDRYAPHIDSCACAOCASSAVACOFFEECORNCROPCROPPINGCROPSFAOFARMFARMERFARMERSFERTILIZERFERTILIZERSFRUIT TREESGRAFTINGINDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGEINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINTERCROPPINGLEARNINGMAIZEMARKETINGMEDIANGOSNURSERIESPLANT DISEASESPLANT PROPAGATIONPLANTINGPOTATOESPROGRAMSSMALL FARMERSSOIL CONSERVATIONSUGARTREE CROPSWATER HARVESTINGWATER SHORTAGESWEED CONTROLWEEDSWHEATWHEAT FLOURWOODWorld Bank10.1596/10789
