Learning about neighbour trees in cocoa growing systems: a manual for farmer trainers

The preparation of this manual was prompted by the need for a comprehensive training manual that provides technical information on farmer preferred neighbour/shade trees, and how this can be augmented into the ongoing farmer field schools (FFS), which are being implemented by STCP. By providing technical information on the selection and management of forest trees in cocoa farms, as well as guided decision-making exercises about timber trees in cocoa farms, this manual provides an opportunity for adult learning within STCP’s broader farmer training programme. This manual is also meant to serve as a stepping-stone to the development of a full-scale curriculum on technical information and guided decisionmaking exercises about timber trees in cocoa farms within the framework of the STCP. As such, it can serve as a basis for the development of a framework for tree diversification in cocoa growing landscapes in West Africa.
