I found the program today to be very informative and Fun. I learned a lot about farming, both in the Netherlands and throughout the world. This day was a fantastic experience and I enjoyed getting out of the city!
I enjoyed that we took the time to learn about farming and the history, and then got to go and see the actual farm working.
The program broadened my perspectives and helped educate myself regarding organic farming as well as the world coming together for food.
Please continue to work on the herbal medicine, you will change the world one day!
The day was so amazing. How farmers teach us like scientists? They know everything in detail! It is so surprising. The presentation was also so informative and I personally learnt a lot from it. I prefer such exposures for next trainees from Africa and Asia, so that they can take something to home.
This has made me look at dairy with a different eye.
I really enjoyed the Dutch farm experience. I learned so much and I think it is for a really good cause. That was some of the best food I have ever had! And the presentation was so informative.
The two farms were very relevant. They present the actual coping mechanisms to deal with current problems, climate change, high cost of production, loss of biodiversity and consumer preferences. Consumers are willing to pay a premium price when their expectations are met. Recycling of nutrients is key for a balanced livestock system.
It was very comforting to see that dairy farming in Uganda has a very good opportunity to choose the direction of investment and development of organic farming.
Excellent experience! This farm tour was generally much better than I expected. If I’m being honest, I did not have a major interest in farming, but I am so glad I came today, because it was very informative and engaging. Plus the food was delicious!
