This 1-week course is designed for development workers, missionaries, and volunteers looking to engage their communities with low-cost, high-impact agricultural practices and techniques. Participants will be introduced to a wide variety of agricultural practices and technologies through classroom time and hands-on activities on the farm, learning to 'use what you have to make what you need'.
This course is considered an 'introductory survey course', and will present a broad overview of many different options suited to smallholder agricultural contexts in Asia.
