OISCA Fiji Agro-Forestry Development Project

This project offers training for young people in Fiji within the framework of the Fiji Government's human development program. The training farm covers 11.7 hectares, of which 8 hectares are planted with crops. The trainees receive instruction on growing various vegetables.

To improve conditions on the farm, trainees work to enrich the soil in the fields by introducing Sesbania (green manure), and have started organic farming on an experimental basis. Trainees also learn how to promote the Children's Forest Program (CFP) and gain practical experience by planting trees in mountain areas and mangroves on seashores.
