Sedot Negev Agriculture Training Center

Yesterday our trainees had a professional tour. As part of the tour they visited the nursery at the KKL-JNF compound at Gilat and got a lesson about seedlings, growing trees methods, and how Israel faced desertification by turning the barren desert into useful and arable land.
In addition, they visited a goats farm at Kfar Maymon and listened to a review on goat farming aspects, luckily we saw some births too.
Last, they visited Eshkol R&D and got a lecture on the importance and meaning of the R&D center and how it can be helpful for agriculture in general and for the local farmers in particular. Also, they saw and were impressed by the experiments there.

Thanks to the lecturer and the hoster for this tour.

Today the students had a professional tour.
The Cambodian students visited Kibutz Ruchama and learnt about the "Kibutz structure" and how this cooperative system helped Israel in its first decades and how traditional farming became one of the advanced agriculture in the world. In addition, they got lessons about compostation and more crop fields. The Nepalese had a tour to the avocado orchard and potato field as part of the courses that they learnt in class.

On Tuesday we had the honour to host at our center the Israeli ambassador to Nepal, H.E Mr. Hannan Goder and the Nepali ambassador to Israel H.E Ms. Kanta Rizal.
Earlier this week, we hosted a delegation of the management board members from nationals universities and colleges for agriculture in Cambodia.

As part of those visits we visited the workplace of the students and met with the farmers too.

Hopefully, our collaborations will be productive for the people and agriculture in Israel, Nepal, Cambodia and last but not least... our dear students.
