The document discusses the role of a facilitator in Farmer Field Schools. It defines a facilitator as a helper and guide, not a leader, who listens to farmers' existing knowledge and guides discussion. An effective facilitator is technically competent in agriculture, organizes field activities, and maintains basic administration, while allowing farmers to lead experimentation and discussion. The core skills of a facilitator include active listening, effective communication, inclusion, and understanding group dynamics to keep the participants engaged and discussions productive.
