Training & Technology Transfer
From Knowledge to Practical Action
Research creates value only when people can understand it, apply it and benefit from it.
SIART’s Training & Technology Transfer programme helps farmers, youth, women’s groups, students, agripreneurs and institutions access practical knowledge in sustainable agriculture, soil health, microbial farming, plantation, biodiversity and rural entrepreneurship.
The programme turns scientific learning and field experience into useful training, demonstrations, guidance and collaborative action.
