East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer is a non-profit corporate foundation with unique ties to East-West Seed Group. We leverage a business-minded approach to sustainable development for farmers in less developed areas, as we offer practical field demonstrations on home and market-driven production. We also provide field-level training and exposure to best practices for profitable and sustainable farming. Our Technical Support Hub (TSH) continuously addresses complex challenges in vegetable production such as climate change, soil health, and water scarcity. THS works directly with our country teams, Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and East-West Seed R&D. This close collaboration, via action research in countries’ learning plots for example, results in evidence-based recommendations presented in extension materials, training modules tailored to local audiences, and direct technical support in person or through digital platforms from our extension teams to farmers and other stakeholders working in the vegetable value chain. Since 2015, EWS-KT has trained more than 500,000 farmers in Asia and Africa. More information, check our websites:
