Farmer-Level Agricultural Training Resources

This collection of farmer training materials was originally developed by Canadian Foodgrains Bank and African Conservation Tillage Network staff to support agricultural training projects in sub-Saharan Africa. The authors encourage agriculture development practitioners to submit ideas or requests for additional materials on related subjects.

The editable source documents (.docx and .pub) of these materials are available in many languages from the CFGB database.  The source documents are updated periodically so check here for the most current formats.  We encourage you to adapt the source for your purposes.
