Objectives:

This course aims to equip beginner and novice farmers with the essential knowledge, practical skills, and confidence needed to establish and manage a successful greenhouse farming operation. By the end of the programme, participants will have a solid understanding of greenhouse crop production, including seedling propagation, environmental control, irrigation, pest and disease management, and hydroponic systems. Through hands-on training and expert guidance, they will develop the ability to optimise growing conditions, improve productivity, and cultivate high-value crops sustainably. This course serves as a foundation for further learning, preparing participants to advance their skills in more specialised areas of greenhouse farming.
