On 28 November 2024, fifteen farmers had the opportunity to visit DICLA Training and Projects as part of an educational and outreach programme, aimed at enhancing their agricultural skills and knowledge. The visit was organised by Lovedale TVET CoVE Hub, an initiative under the European Union-funded Erasmus+ programme through the CoVE South Africa project.

A Day of Learning and Collaboration
The visit to DICLA Training and Projects Crop Farm was an educational and enriching experience for the farmers, providing them with practical knowledge, hands-on exposure to modern farming techniques. Crop rotation techniques, sustainable water management, soil health management, and pest and disease management were the topics which were included in the demonstrations.
The visit also provided an opportunity to network with peers and experts to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing. The farmers left the farm with new tools and insights to improve their own agricultural practices, ultimately aiming to boost productivity, sustainability, and profitability.
