Project Narrative

Our progress & lessons learned We continue to make strong progress in our Skilled pillar because of our agronomic teams that work directly with farmers and the investment we have made in our crop research teams that oversee both crop breeding and the development of crop management protocols. Over 15,000 farmers received at least two technical trainings in 2020. While the COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges, our teams were able to leverage digital tools or socially distanced visits when safe and possible to continue providing support to farmers throughout the growing season.
