Developing Farmer-To-Farmer Agro Ecological Learning And Training Models: A Place-Based Perspective Within The Uk

向可持续粮食系统的过渡需要对农业研究和培训进行彻底的重新思考。当前自上而下的知识转移方法（科学家向农民）不足以应对该行业面临的社会、经济和环境挑战。草根可持续发展运动正在为农民主导的农业学习制定新议程，部分灵感来自欧洲以外开发的农民对农民模式。然而，此类项目仍然与主流供应脱节且处于边缘地位。本研究的目的是调查农民对农民的学习模式如何受到基于地点的因素的影响，以便为英国背景下的新模式的共同生产提供信息，并支持向农业生态实践的转变。

Transitions to sustainable food systems require radical rethinking of agricultural research and training. Current top-down approaches to knowledge transfer - scientist to farmer - are inadequate to social,economic and environmental challenges facing the sector. Grassroots sustainability movements are setting a new agenda for farmer-led agricultural learning, inspired partly by farmer-to-farmer models developed beyond Europe. However, such projects remain disconnected and peripheral to mainstream provision. The purpose of this research is to investigate how farmer-to-farmer learning models are shaped by place-based factors in order to inform coproduction of new models within the UK context and support shifts towards agroecological practice.
