The Faculty of Economics of the National University of San Agustín in Arequipa (UNSA), Peru, has launched a training course based on the SHEP method, in partnership with Japan’s international cooperation agency (JICA).
SHEP (Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion) helps small farmers plan their production around demand, connecting the field to the market more effectively.
The course brought together public and private institutions, farmers, teachers and researchers, in an initiative that seeks to strengthen local capacities and promote a new vision for agricultural development.
