The 31st Annual ECHO® International Agriculture Conference

ECHO Asia Tropical Agriculture & Development (TAD) Course

18 NOV - 23 NOV 2024

This 1-week course is designed for development workers, missionaries, and volunteers looking to engage their communities with low-cost, high-impact agricultural ideas and techniques. Participants will be introduced to various agricultural practices and technologies through classroom time and hands-on activities on the farm, learning to ‘use what you have to make what you need.’

This course is considered an ‘introductory survey course’ and will present a broad overview of many options suited to smallholder agricultural contexts in Asia.

The LEAD Community of Practice and ECHO North America Impact Centre are excited to be hosting this training event, contextualising the Faith and Farming materials for community engagement workers in the Americas. The event is suitable for both farmers and those who work alongside and support farmers, and will provide an introduction to the wider Faith and Farming curriculum for those who would like to incorporate its principles into their own work. Visit the Faith and Farming website for more information about the Faith and Farming programme.
