LEISA Magazine | 22.3 |September 2006
In this issue of the LEISA Magazine we look at how knowledge about LEISA concepts is currently generated, shared and used by a variety of people working towards improved livelihoods in rural areas.
We argue that the generation of knowledge is a process which is and needs to be ongoing, but that further steps also need to be taken to exchange, make the knowledge available, and most importantly, to act on this knowledge.
LEISA is not only about technical issues, but also about the empowerment of farmers, social fairness and economic viability. Examples covering these spheres are included, as are articles on experiences of building knowledge through farmer experimentation, innovation and participation from China, Guatemala and Ethiopia among others.
