From a farmer who has participated in an FFS we expect that he has a good basic knowledge of what is going on in his field. He knows his crop, understands relationships between pests and natural enemies, and has started to increase his skills in crop and pest management. The FFS curriculum therefore deals with many different topics:
- The plant
- Seedling health
- The crop
- The ecosystem
- Plant compensation
- Soil
- Collecting insects
- Insect identification
- Insect pest management
- Diseases
- Disease management
- Weed management
- Pesticides
- Problems caused by pesticides
- Etc.
