As part of our SANET project, funded by Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and implemented by CIHEAM Bari in collaboration with the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), we are pleased to announce the launch of several essential training courses.
The project focuses on fostering sustainable agricultural development, enhancing food security and strengthening agricultural value chains in Palestine.
Towards this end, these 10 training courses are designed to empower farmers and producers with practical skills and knowledge tailored to their specific needs.
The first course, focusing on Good Agricultural Practices for the Plum Value Chain, is being held over three days in North Hebron (Hebron) and Jenin (Kabatya). This course covers cultivation, management, and postharvest practices for Plum fruit.
The second course, dedicated to Good Agricultural Practices for Fodder and Feed for Livestock, is also a three-day program taking place in Jericho, Tubas, and Dora, focusing on fodder production, management, and techniques to support livestock health and productivity.
In addition, a series of training sessions on Postharvest Handling and Storage Practices will be held over three days at various locations, including North Hebron (Hebron), Jenin (Kabatya), Jericho, Tubas, and Dora. These sessions will address key aspects such as postharvest loss prevention, efficient storage techniques, and quality management for both stone fruits and fodder crops.
Designed to incorporate both theoretical lessons and practical experiences, these courses will feature site visits and hands-on activities to enhance the learning experience.
The programs target farmers, producers, cooperatives, NGOs, young researchers, and graduate students who are keen to expand their knowledge in agriculture and postharvest management. Through these initiatives, we aim to contribute to the long-term sustainability and increased productivity of the agricultural sector in Palestine.
