[Editor's Note: Hi Marilyn! ECHO's Global Farm Tours are focused on giving the public an overview of ECHO's ministry around the world with an emphasis on some of the techniques that could be used to assist others. That being said, one 90-minute tour would not be enough to train your people to train those in South Africa. Please look into our guided Self Study Program (http://www.echonet.org/content/studyprogram) or Introduction to Tropical Agriculture workshop (http://www.echonet.org/content/coursesAndWorkshops) for more hands-on training that we can offer you. Thanks!]
