SIMLESA works with, and trains researchers on national programs. These hand-on training and technical assistance packages play a critical role in meeting their countries’ national food security and resource conservation goals.
By creating quality communities of agricultural knowledge – in critical areas – SIMLESA empowers researchers to help these farmers and, in so doing, to help their countries toward a more food-secure, sustainable future. In contrast to formal academic training in plant breeding and agronomy, which is normally broad and theoretical, SIMLESA training activities are hands-on and highly specialized.
