Farmer Field Schools (FFS) and Water User Groups (WUG) are groups of 25 male and female farmers selected by FAO to participate in practical adult learning programs on improved crop water management and agricultural techniques. The WUG FFS approach involves study plots where participants learn by doing and comparing traditional and improved practices. The goals are to disseminate better water management and increase production, while empowering farmers and helping them become experts. WUG FFS follow a participatory learning model with weekly sessions held over a crop season to build farmers' skills and help them make informed decisions through group discussion and problem solving.
