About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to have Dr. Green, an expert in sustainable agriculture, joining us. We're here to discuss the Certified Specialist Programme in Agroecological Crop Protection. Dr. Green, can you tell us a bit about this course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Absolutely, the course is designed to train professionals in eco-friendly pest and disease management strategies. I've seen firsthand the need for sustainable practices in farming, and this programme focuses on integrated pest management, biocontrol techniques, and organic farming practices. HOST: That sounds fascinating. Can you share some current trends in the industry that make this course particularly relevant? GUEST: Sure, there's a growing demand for experts who can implement climate-smart agriculture and enhance crop resilience. Our course equips learners with practical skills in soil health improvement and biodiversity enhancement, making them attractive candidates in the job market. HOST: Indeed, the future of agriculture lies in sustainability. But there must be challenges in this field or while teaching this subject. Could you elaborate on any obstacles you've encountered? GUEST: Certainly, one challenge is changing the mindset of traditional farmers who are used to conventional methods. But once they understand the long-term benefits of agroecological crop protection, they become advocates for these practices. HOST: That's a significant hurdle to overcome. Now, looking ahead, where do you see the future of agroecological crop protection going?
