They trained with us

  • He came from Côte d’Ivoire to train in agro-pastoral farming and was struck by the integrated courses in agriculture, fish farming and livestock, and above all by home-grown feed: black soldier flies and hydroponic green fodder. He went home with real know-how.

  • “I had land and goodwill, but I lacked the technical knowledge to make it productive and profitable. The trainers don’t stop at theory: they take us into the field and show us exactly how it’s done.”
    Bete Clémentine SandrineAgriculture
  • “The time has come to say goodbye to this team, which has been my second family for the past few months. Thank you for the laughter, the challenges we overcame and the solidarity.”

  • “I always wanted to get into fish farming but didn’t know where to start. This training gave me the confidence and knowledge to succeed.”
