Overview
The aims of the Course in Sustainable Agriculture are:
- To improve the farming skills of emerging young farmers, farm workers and farm managers;
- To teach farmers sustainable agricultural practices relevant to the Namibian ecology and to prepare them for the effects of climate change;
- To enable farm workers and farm managers to perform certain tasks, manage complete sections of the farming business, or the farming business in its entirety;
- To improve the productivity of farming in Namibia in order to realise profit
The ATCK is currently in the process of having these courses recognised by the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA), ensuring that graduates from the courses have an officially recognised qualification. The NQA is a newly established body and in conjunction with the ATCK, criteria and standards will be developed as benchmarks for qualification.
