A three-level Crop Protection training programme will begin on 26 January to build knowledge and practical capacity across the food production and processing sector in CARICOM, supporting safer, more effective, and more sustainable pest management practices.
The six-week, distance learning, self-paced theoretical training is being offered through a partnership between the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat, Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) and COLEAD, a private sector not-for-profit organisation that is devoted to inclusive and sustainable agriculture. The course is designed to meet the needs of professionals such as farm managers, horticultural producers; production managers, nurseries managers, crop protection managers, packing managers, service providers, and expert trainers.
