6 Why visit a Centre of Excellence? Our research has shown that traditional, extension-led training only results in 15% of farmers making changes to their farms. Our peer-to-peer, farmer-led model, however, is more effective for the following reasons: Affordable - rather than costly extension workers, peer-to-peer enables farmers to share cost-effective ideas. Accessible - by learning from their peers, in their local language, using farmer friendly materials: Centre of Excellence training is more accessible to smallholder farmers. Innovative - our training crowd sources ideas and innovations from a global network; connecting farmers and producer organizations around the world. Entrepreneurial - Farmers strengthen their farms as enterprises, building reslience and increasing their ability to thrive even in the face of changing circumstances. Who should attend a training? Individual Farmers, Extension Officers, Producer organisations, Government agencies, NGOs and Companies What next?

16 Testimonials One of the objectives of the training, is for those who receive training, to be able to train others. The agenda was very good organized, I liked the farmers and how well-kept their farms are The Center of Excellence is letting us move forward, it allows us to keep going From my training at Sireet CoE I learned you do not need to have a large piece of land to have farm innovations I learned planting indigenous trees...will help, because if they don t plant trees now the drought...will be consistent
