One of AESAC's first objectives as an organization was to promote the replicability of its sustainable production model by supporting the training of other producer groups in the Bajío region. The workshops provided by its members had a very important multiplier effect when other producers in the region felt identified and felt more confident in sharing their experiences and asking their questions. The members' plots functioned as demonstration plots, where they could show the results of the practices implemented and thus motivate other producers to initiate processes of improvement and conditioning of their productive areas.
- The trainings are held in nearby communities, which provides an atmosphere of trust and cordiality.
- AESAC redesigned a manual prepared by INIFAP on the 5 axes of sustainability, which allowed us to have a simpler manual, with less text and more graphics, which was more understandable and attractive to producers.
- The fact that the training and exchange of experiences is conducted by producers greatly facilitates communication and confidence to experiment with new practices in their fields.
- The type of best practice examples used by AESAC producers seem clear and logical to the producers being trained.
- The project also taught AESAC partners how to document and formalize training sessions with their peers as part of their management capacity building.
