Pamphlets are useful too.

Most farmers in Northern Ghana know how to compost, but many don't get the best from their compost because they don't know the finer details of the process. These three Dagbanli language pamphlets train farmers in expert compost making, storage and spreading by explaining the science behind it, building on the knowledge constructed by researcher and participants during the 3-year composting and transport project in Northern Ghana. Another aim is to use and develop farmers’ literacy and numeracy skills, and the pamphlets were produced in association with the NGO Literacy and Development through Partnership in Tamale.
