Farm-Ed is an innovative new programme to benefit African farmers launched by a consortium of UK and African partners. It aims to make a step-change in agricultural education in Africa. The programme provides free access to up-to-date learning materials (Open Educational Resources or OERs) on agricultural practice and policy.
The Open University and Natural Resources Institute at the University of Greenwich, are working together with a range of stakeholders through our principle partners, RUFORUM and ANAFE, so that the learning materials build capacity of African training institutions and organisations.
We believe that farmers deserve better access to high-quality and up to date information to help them make the choices to enable them to add value to their businesses and farming operations.
