ABSTRACT
Several months after ISWC 2 started in central and southern Tunisia, 60 innovators in dryland farming had been discovered and the number was growing. The next questions were: How could information about these innovations be spread? How could links be forged between farmer innovators, and between them and formal research and extension? ISWC-Tunisia organized visits between innovators and visits by other farmers to innovators, and some visits were shown on national television. However, the major activity to disseminate and stimulate farmers’ ideas and experiments was a weekly radio programme on agricultural innovation.
