and the Farmer’s and Women’s Unions began organising IPM Clubs for all
farmers in 1998. By early 2000 each of the 10 hamlets had an IPM Club.
In each of the clubs Farmer IPM Trainers were named as either the Chair or
Vice-chair. These two positions alternate between a representative of
the hamlet branch of the Farmers’ Union and the Women’s Union and a
Farmer IPM Trainer is always either the Chair or Vice-Chair. The clubs
are conducting field studies organized by Farmer IPM Trainers.
Leadership of each hamlet IPM Club meets regularly to share results of
studies that they then provide to hamlet club membership. The total
membership of the 10 clubs is around 600 farmers. Clubs plan to
continue organising studies and FFS.
