Abstract
Farmer Field Schools (FFS) have emerged as a significant tool for enhancing agricultural knowledge dissemination and skill development in rural communities worldwide. The study employed qualitative methods to document farmer experiences and community feedback following FFS interventions. The findings underscore the potential of FFS as a scalable and sustainable approach for enhancing agricultural practices in remote Ethiopian settings, contributing to food security objectives. Future research should focus on scaling up interventions and assessing long-term impacts, while emphasising community engagement and capacity building.
