Led by the farmers needs, AME has been promoting knowledge generation in main crops like groundnut, cotton, paddy, pulses and vegetables, on aspects like economic eco-friendly plant protection, nutrient management, soil improvement and yield stabilization. Presently, has been guiding farmers to move towards integrated farming systems.

AME has been combining knowledge generation with adoption of innovations through learning exercises like the Participatroy Technology Development (PTD) and Farmers' Field School (FFS). In pursuit of PTD as a major activity, AME is making steady progress in reaching farmers, popularizing the techniques and training those interested.

AME adopts the FFS approach to build capacities of farmers to grow a healthy crop by observing, analyzing and taking appropriate decisions. After guidance over a period, some NGOs have learnt to conduct FFS on their own.

AME has been conducting a variety of trainings. These include -
a) Holistic training comprising series of modules
b) Intensive trainings on specific topics and
c) ToT for NGOs and farmers.

Networking with NGOs interested in sustainable agriculture is one of the main activities of AME. The number of partner NGOs of AME are 19 in nine districts of Andhra Pradesh, 29 in nine districts of Karnataka, and 25 in ten districts of Tamil Nadu. With AME as the support organization, these networks are engaged in various aspects of sustainable agriculture. A majority of them have a strong village base in the form of active Self Help Groups (SHG), which is a big help.

Linkage building is another important activity of AME. AME harnesses the presence and experience of many organizations - public and private, concerned with research and development in activities like PTD and FFS, and also to sensitise and enable them in LEISA. AME makes efforts to develop durable linkages with them as well as others through workshops and Stakeholder Concerted Action Platforms (SCAP) in biomass management.
