Botswana, Africa

In early 2014, Land Based Training in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade set out to establish a beef training initiative in Botswana, Africa over a three year period.  Through this work MFAT and Land Based Training hope to improve food security in Africa through the sharing of education, knowledge and practices that will help improve productivity and efficiency within the Botswana agricultural sector.

In February 2014, our Operations Manager and Head Agriculture Tutor flew to Botswana to complete the scoping mission.  The follow-up activity design and delivery report has now been approved by MFAT.
