The 'Fresh Academy' is a practical knowledge and trainee institute for the horticultural sector, in different locations of Vietnam. For that purpose instructors will be trained in a so called Training-of-Trainers (ToT) section. Next to that curricula, learning material and a business case will be developed for the Fresh Academy.
In practise
The development of skills in the field of outdoor crops or indoor crops, is an important part of the Fresh Academy project. After a short introduction of the different topics which will be treated at the ToT section, the trainees were given different assignments related to substrate, light, EC and pH and crop protection techniques.
