The drafting of this handbook was initiated in October 2007,

in Ghana, by Ines Beernaerts, in the framework of the FAOKNUST

project on “Evaluation of non-treatment options for

maximizing public health benefits of WHO guidelines governing

the use of wastewater in urban vegetable production in Ghana”.

The Farmer Field School (FFS) approach was introduced in

the FAO-KNUST project and materialized in this handbook to

enhance the experimental learning of the (peri-) urban farmers.

The best practices described in this handbook were designed

and field-tested in a project funded by the CGIAR Challenge

Program on Water and Food (CPWF) under the coordination

of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology

(KNUST) and the International Water Management Institute

(IWMI). This initiative was taken to enable the project to go

beyond research and ensure the sustainability of the results.
