In a step aimed at supporting the resilience of the agricultural sector amid current challenges, the Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, funded by the Government of Canada, has launched a comprehensive virtual training programme targeting farmers across various regions of Lebanon. The program aims to help farmers strengthen apple and vegetable value chains while preparing for the upcoming agricultural season. It also includes gender and protection. Originally planned as in-person sessions, the training has been adapted to a fully online format using WhatsApp technical messages and interactive Q&A sessions to ensure continuity, safety, and broad reach across Lebanon.
