Agricultural support

ByNetwork Learning

Agromisa makes practical knowledge on sustainable agriculture available to farmers in the South. Its main publications are the Agrodoks – practical booklets written in clear, simple language, intended for extension workers and field workers of intermediary organisations. Recent additions to the series include Entering the organic export market, Snail farming and Small-scale mushroom cultivation, the latter translated into Swahili.

The Agrodoks and other Agromisa publications are free to download. Once in their website, click on “Search Publications”. Agromisa also offer a free Question & Answer service!
