Welcome to FFTC
Over the past 35 years, FFTC as a regional information center in the
Asian and Pacific (ASPAC) region has played an immensely important role
in collecting, exchanging, and disseminating information on a wide range
of modern and practical technologies, covering the full spectrum of
small farm needs and activities relevant to the region. Through its
various activities like seminars and workshops, training courses, and
regional surveys, we have accumulated a huge body of knowledge and
information on agriculture made possible through the works of hundreds
of people from member countries and partner institutions. Disseminated
through publications, training courses and demonstration projects, these
knowledge and information have given countless resource-poor farmers and
extension specialists in the region new opportunities and new solutions
to their problems.
Five years ago, the Center made available free-of-charge on its website
the full text of its publications for the last 15 years. Since then, the
FFTC website and database has become an important information resource
on Asian agriculture, particularly by the national extension systems of
the region. The growing use of the FFTC website/publication database
gave a larger number of people access to the Center’s technical and
practical information on sustainable agriculture.
We welcome you to this much improved, more user-friendly FFTC website,
re-designed and renovated to enhance the Center’s technology transfer
mission, facilitate interaction and networking among partner
institutions within the region, and make possible a more cost-effective
way of disseminating practical information to our users, particularly
the small-scale farmers.
