SUMMARY:Online Refresher Webnar – From Bean to Bunch: Sustainable strategies for Banana and Coffee Production
DESCRIPTION:Topic: From Bean to Bunch: Sustainable strategies for Banana and Coffee Production\n\nGrowing bananas in young coffee plantations also ensures that the farmer gets some returns from the land before the coffee reaches the productive stage. Intercropping banana with coffee is usually more profitable and resilient than the production of either crop grown as monocrops. The Webnar is organised by PELUM Uganda KHEA Master Trainers – Robert Guloba and Kabuye Margaret. \nDon’t Miss! \nTune in this Friday16th February 2024 via zoom \nJoin in the zoom via this link https://us04web.zoom.us/join \nMeeting ID:837 8076 7055 \nPasscode: 956110 \nShare This
