Groups of pioneer farmers have become mobilised, along with scientists (public and private), in response to the degradation of their land to invent new farming methods. These pioneers and atypical scientists have had a considerable impact in boosting the awareness of other farmers in all concerned countries. They have encouraged the dissemination and adoption of these techniques via on-farm demonstration visits, or through presentations at conferences, seminars, meetings, etc. Farmers’ groups, associations, cooperatives, and foundations have had a crucial role in these initiatives (in Brazil for instance).
