SPRING/Guinea Staff at a Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture Training
In April 2017, SPRING tested and modified a nutrition-sensitive agriculture training curriculum in Kindia, Guinea, with staff from Feed the Future’s Strengthening Market-Led Agricultural Research, Technology and Education (SMARTE) for the Apprentisage en Vulgarisation, Entrepreneuriat et l’Innovation Rurale (AVENIR) program. This nutrition-sensitive agriculture training module will be integrated into a four-week training curriculum that Winrock International is developing for SMARTE’s AVENIR program, which trains local “agro-preneurs” how to use agricultural technologies.
