This course will cover the entire lifecycle of cultivation, from market intelligence and crop selection to nursery management, planting, harvesting, and marketing.
Learners will benefit from a combination of theoretical and practical teaching, gaining hands-on experience in growing a short-term crop.
Upon completion of their course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to cultivate other short-term crops.
Course participants are required to have their own PPE, including boots, overalls, gloves, goggles, respirator/mask, and small tools. Additionally, learners will be encouraged to grow a tomato crop at their homes, either in pots or soil.
A limited number of scholarships of $550 are available, provided by CICan/SAGE06.
Applicants seeking scholarship consideration must submit a 250-300 word essay explaining their motivation for taking Climate Smart Crop Production, and how they believe it would benefit them.
