agriculture practice that is becoming more and more popular. You will be

Animal Production Basic
Livestock keeping and
crop production can coexist very well since an integrated approach is the key
to establish a closed nutrient management cycle. Fresh fish, meat, milk and
honey are products which can increase the houshold income for a small scale
farmer significantly. To run a livestock enterprise successfully good
management practices are needed. The course gives introduction into animal
health, feeding, housing and general production. For more

Process Food and add
Value
Processed and value added
products fetch a higher price, can be stored for a longer time and need less
space. This course will introduce participants to different value addition and
food processing techniques. It is made to cater for farmers, small and medium
enterprises and those who would like to venture into food processing and value
addition. For

holistic designs and implement ideas and systems that build on natural
processes with energy efficiency, low cost and high yeilding results. We expect
