Abstract

The PIP approach is an innovative way of transforming small-scale subsistence farm households into more productive and sustainable farms. It is based on a visionary Integrated Farm Plan (PIP in French acronyms) which is developed and drawn on a map by all family members, as well as a concrete action plan how to realise that vision. Changing farmers’ mindsets by motivating them to transform their reality by conscious collective action is at the core of the PIP approach. As such, the PIP builds
a foundation for entrepreneurial and sustainable farming, i.e. Market Oriented Resilient Agricultural Production Systems. The approach is currently being implemented in Burundi
