Feedback on FBSInnova

Feedback on courses in the Agribusiness e-Academy

Healthy nutrition 3D courses

“The modules covered were so interesting, hence I start applying them in my family to live healthy lives.”

“I recommend this platform for everyone that needs upgrade in career.”

“It was a very exciting and educative lesson. They looked simple at first, but it wasn't as I thought because it contained a lot of detailed information that many do not even know or think is necessary. It has given me another perspective on health, food and nutrition in general.”

Maize GAP

“Extending the course to coffee and cocoa farming will be very interesting in the West African context”

“The program should be well publicised for all and sundry to participate. This can decrease unemployment through knowledge sharing.”
