Alumni Workshop - Ethiopia 2025

The DAAD Agriculture-Alumni Travelling Workshop 2025 in Ethiopia will focus on scaling, dissemination, and adoption of best agricultural practices to enhance sustainable food production and restore natural resources. From March 9 –15, participants will engage in site visits, discussions, and research presentations across various locations, including Addis Ababa, Hawassa, Wolaita Sodo, and Dilla. Activities will include exploring ecosystem services in urban greening, examining indigenous spice and medicinal plant research, and studying smallholder mixed perennial farming systems. Participants will also investigate integrated poultry value chains, assess soil and water conservation efforts, and visit dairy farms to discuss nutrient efficiency in intensive systems. The event will conclude with a DAAD strategy workshop, where attendees will evaluate findings, share insights, and discuss future collaborations. More updates to come with the completion of the workshop!
