Training & Workshops

Empowering farmers with knowledge and skills for sustainable agriculture.

Our Training & Workshops are designed to equip smallholder farmers, particularly women and youth, with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in sustainable agriculture. The workshops focus on sustainable farming techniques, climate-resilient practices, organic farming, and the efficient use of technology in agriculture. By fostering skills that promote food security and empower farmers, these workshops support our mission to enhance livelihoods and create opportunities for reliable, climate-resilient incomes.
