description This study aims to understand the impact of participatory extension approach on adoption of agroecological farming practices versus traditional extension approach among smallholder farmers. We assess how information delivered through different approaches impacts farmers' agroecological knowledge, the adoption rate of agroecological practices along with homestead-based farming models based on agroecological principles, and analyze its effects on agricultural, household, and individual outcomes. To achieve this objective, we will use a cluster-based randomized control trial to randomly allocate households between three groups- those who receive information about agroecology in a participatory way, those who receive information about agroecology in a traditional way, and those who practice business as usual. This study is undertaken in Narayanganj block of Mandla district in Madhya Pradesh, India.
