CIKoD trains Agriculture Extension Officers on agro-ecological farming in Upper East

Speaking to JoyNews, CIKOD’s Director of Programmes, Wilberforce Laate, said the training was aimed at teaching simple agro-ecological techniques and encouraging Agriculture Extension Agents to take the knowledge to farmers in the field.

The training, held in Bolgatanga, brought together agriculture officials and other stakeholders to build the capacity of extension officers and equip them with practical knowledge they can transfer to farmers.

The Centre for Indigenous Knowledge and Organisational Development (CIKOD) has trained Agriculture Extension Agents from selected districts in the Upper East Region on agro-ecological farming practices.
