The trainings were conducted in Keetmanshop, Aroab, Koës and Berseba between 1 to 9 February 2022, with each session attended by over 30 participants, including women and youth.
Topics covered included farm management planning, rangeland management, small stock management, crop production, piggery and poultry production.
“The aim of the training is to equip farming communities with skills that enhance productivity and at the same time take into consideration climate resilience through diversified farming practices. All farmers, both clients and non-clients, can be beneficiaries of the training services, aimed at delivering technical farming skills through theory-based learning and practical demonstrations, to strengthen farmers’ skill set, knowledge, and attitude towards farming,” Agribank Spokesperson, Fillemon Nangonya said.
