Training & Capacity Building
Farmer training curriculum
Practical, hands-on and ready for the farmer's field.
The curriculum is built to be applied the next morning, across a wide range of themes, from farmer-club formation and exposure visits to specialised technical trainings and student internships.

Beyond farmer-focused sessions, CFRD also hosts exposure visits and internships for students from schools and universities, and specialised workshops such as project leadership, ethics and accountability.
