🌱 Our Agronomist, Mahdi DAHANE, participated in the 13th Advanced International Course on Conservation & Regenerative Agriculture, organized by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), ICAR - Indian Council of Agricultural Research, and the Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA), in India. 📚 This intensive training brought together agronomists, soil scientists, and researchers in a collaborative learning environment. The program covered key aspects of conservation agriculture, including no-tillage systems, residue management, crop rotation, and precision nutrient management. Hands-on sessions featured cutting-edge technology demonstrations, such as machinery calibration, drone-based spraying, and soil quality monitoring. #ConservationAgriculture #Sustainability #RegenerativeFarming #InnovationInAg
