The "IFOAM Training Manual for Organic Agriculture in the Tropics", first presented in 2002 , is now available as pdf-, Word- and Powerpoint-files in three languages on one CD or can be downloaded directly from their .:website (click here). The Training Manual was developed to improve the quality and the availability of didactic material on organic agriculture in tropical countries. It offers a resource basis for trainers with the idea of encouraging individual adaptation and further development of the material according to the needs. The Training Manual can be used as a guide and source book to implement training programs.
