FineResults Research Services would like to invite you to take part in our upcoming workshops on Agricultural courses at our FineResults Research Services training facilities in Nairobi, Kenya or online. 24th to 28th July 2023 Integrated Soil Health and Fertility Management for Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security 23rd to 27th October 2023 Integrated Soil Health and Fertility Management for Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security 4th to 8th December 2023 Integrated Soil Health and Fertility Management for Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security INTRODUCTION Healthy soils increase the capacity of crops to withstand weather variability, including short term extreme precipitation events and intra-seasonal drought. Following the rapid increase in population growth in the universe, wide spread land degradation through deforestation and pressure on limited pieces of land, soil health and management is vital in ensuring sustainable crops growth and enhancing food security and nutrition. This 5 days training course aim to guide participants on how to retain soil fertility, reduce land degradation and restore the soil productivity hence ensuring sustainable productivity of the soil. DURATION 5 days WHO SHOULD ATTEND? • Agriculture Extension • Policy makers • Research organizations and non-government organizations among others for Agriculture support activities and other development programmes. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of the course, learners will be able to: • Understand designing and implementing effective ISHFM programs • Understand soil fertility concepts and factors that make a soil fertile and productive. • Gain knowledge on how to identify soil nutrient problems and opportunities. • Understand soil fertility enhancing strategies that maximize profits and agronomic use efficiency. • Understand the methodologies and tools to assess suitability, economic feasibility, and impacts of ISHFM on agricultural production, soil fertility, and the environment. • Understand how to promote ISHFM to farmers and other stakeholders.
