When agricultural researchers visit farms in order to gather information for their research programmes, farmers rarely get proper feedback. Research information on scientific concepts such as soil fertility and nutrient balances is often considered too abstract for them. Researchers in Kenya returned to farmers to discuss their results in the context of Farmer Field Schools. Through the workshops that ensued, they managed to find a common language to bridge the communication gap.
当农业科技人员在田间进行访问，希望为研究项目收集信息时，发现很难从农户那儿得到反馈，主要是因为提到的科学概念，如土壤肥力和养分平衡，对于农民来说太抽象了。在肯尼亚，科研人员通过农民田间学校的形式走到了农民中间，和他们一起讨论研究结果。通过举行一系列研讨会，尽力找到“共同语言”来缩小大家在交流上的差距。
