It is an integral component of the training system, which includes flipfiles for ISFM and Best Management Practices (BMP) for various agricultural products, games and activities, and demonstration materials. The primary focus of the manual is to assist trainers in preparing for, conducting, and providing essential information during the training sessions.

The manual provides step-by-step instructions for each activity, including a list of required materials, objectives, learning indicators, and suggested durations. Additionally, the manual introduces the concept of ISFM, explaining its significance in enhancing crop yield and farmer profits while maintaining soil fertility.
