| Abstract: |
This research analyses and provides recommendations for organizational and student learning within the Farmer Field School (FFS) in Vietnam’s Ha Tinh province; in line with the FFS objectives of maximizing knowledge dissemination within its student-farmer communities. This FFS works with minority youth, aiming to utilize traditional local knowledge to achieve sustainable livelihoods. The study documents key relationships through which knowledge exchanges occur within the FFS, and then analyzes and provides recommendations for student and organizational learning using the theoretical framework of loop -learning. Findings suggest that the FFS networks with ethnic communities in the Mekong region, developed prior to the conception of the FFS play an influential role in its curriculum development and its students’ single and double loop learning. However, improved outcomes could be achieved by further developing the knowledge transfer skills of FFS-students’, increased NGO activity within student-farmer’s communities, and the development of progressive goals for knowledge transfer. |
