        <dc:description>An evaluation of a farmer field school (FFS) program for chili&#13;
peppers was conducted to measure impacts on farmers’ knowledge&#13;
of chili pepper integrated crop management (ICM) in Aceh&#13;
Province, Indonesia. Chili production was selected as the target&#13;
intervention topic because of its importance in Aceh’s economy.&#13;
Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to assess impacts of&#13;
FFS; 270 FFS-graduate farmers were interviewed and eight farmer&#13;
groups were surveyed. By integrating descriptive and simple statistical&#13;
analyses, we measure immediate impacts of FFS, which also&#13;
makes this study’s methods and findings different from others in the&#13;
literature. The results show that farmers’ knowledge on agricultural&#13;
practices increased significantly due to FFS. In addition, in the&#13;
future, farmers expected that their chili yields would increase and&#13;
their pesticide use would decrease. FFS improved farmer cohesiveness&#13;
and information sharing. Farmers’ knowledge of insect pests,&#13;
diseases and natural enemies increased considerably, as did their&#13;
awareness of pesticide-related hazards. In sum, FFS successfully delivered improved technology and enhanced knowledge to enable&#13;
farmers to grow chili with sustainable practices and higher&#13;
profits.</dc:description>
