🌱 Where Future Farmers Grow: Hands-On Learning at CEFPREPAS

At CEFPREPAS, our young trainees aren’t just learning from books — they’re getting their hands in the soil, mastering real farming techniques from day one. Today, they’re carefully transplanting seedlings from our nurseries to the fields, putting into practice everything they’ve learned about sustainable crop production.

These are not just students — they’re future green thumbs, building the skills to grow food, feed communities, and shape a more sustainable future.

👏 Every step — from nursery preparation to transplanting — is guided by expert trainers and rooted in 80% practical, field-based learning. This is what sets CEFPREPAS apart: real experience, real impact, real results.

🍅 Tips for Successful Nursery Seedling Preparation
Want to grow strong, healthy plants? Here’s what our trainees learn:

✅ Choose a sunny, well-drained site
✅ Prepare fertile soil with good drainage and balanced pH
✅ Use high-quality seeds with a high germination rate
✅ Plant at the right time, depth, and spacing
✅ Water regularly, and manage weeds, pests, and nutrients
✅ Harvest seedlings at the right stage
✅ Store and care for young plants until transplanting

These are the foundations of successful farming — and they’re all part of the comprehensive agro-pastoral training we offer at CEFPREPAS.
