Farmer Field School Curriculum: Good Agronomic Practices for Groundnut Production

The curriculum aims to improve farming practices and increase aflatoxin-safe groundnut crops for better household nutrition, particularly in 1,000-day households (those with pregnant or lactating women or children under two years old). The curriculum consists of seven sessions, each focusing on a different aspect of groundnut production, including site selection and land preparation, seed selection and germination, sowing and tending the crop, growth monitoring and harvesting, and processing and preventing aflatoxin contamination. The curriculum integrates messages on water, sanitation, and hygiene, as well as nutrition, and is designed to be used in an experiential learning environment, with activities and demonstrations to facilitate learning.
