A short video about recording weather information - how this can be of benefit for farmers and different methods of collecting this information. It includes interviews with farmers in Bolivia who have been using a notebook to record and understand weather information, forecast the weather and make decisions about their farming practices based on what they have found.
This information may be useful for farmers and those working in agricultural development and research, including in farmer research networks.
This video was produced by AgroInsight in collaboration with farmers and researchers working in the Andes with support of the Collaborative Crop Research Programme of the McKnight Foundation. There are plenty more interesting videos in many languages on the website https://www.accessagriculture.org and we invite you to explore it.
This video is available in multiple languages, including Spanish, in the accessagriculture.org website
