Kuper et al. (2009) describe the application of participatory
methods in a central Moroccan context to support small-scale
farmers in designing a joint drip irrigation project. The authors
outline and evaluate their experiences in developing a social
learning environment to enhance the capacity of the farmers
who manage the projects. Based on the new-build capacity,
farmers could decide for themselves on the adoption of drip
irrigation, influenced by socioeconomic as well as
technological considerations.
