Welcome to the Coffee Farming Course
This course is mainly designed to support two types of audiences:
⦁ coffee farmers who do not have sufficient access to opportunities to learn appropriate Good Agricultural Practices, and
⦁ extension staff and trainers who lack access to standardized training materials to help farmers apply these practices in the field.
This coffee farming course comprehensively covers the key aspects of coffee farming through 13 different topics, as outlined below. Farmers can easily access videos and audio materials for each topic.
