What about what preceded this[edit]

This entry makes it seem that the USAID F2F program initiated Farmer to Farmer. However, the Movimiento Campesino a Campesino, or "Farmer to Farmer", preceded USAID's program by at least 13 years, according the sourcewatch link given below. I don't see this article making any reference to the Movimiento Campesino a Campesino, which itself is worldwide, or any entries in Wikipedia on Campesino a Campesino. Search for "Farmer to Farmer" limits to just this entry, and thus there is no ability to make links from this entry to Campesino a Campesino. Thus from this article it may seem that USAID started the idea.

Is it possible that USAID derived the term and the germ of the concept from Campesino a Campesino? According to my understanding the latter is based on agroecology, which I doubt had much influence on USAID in 1986 or perhaps even now, and so it is very likely the USAID version is being operated in a somewhat different spirit. My suspicion is that the program might even be trying to domesticate the movement. A question for the history section is where did the word and idea originate, how and by whom did it get into USAID? How does it differ from these origins and influences, and is the significance of these differences?
