Background Information The farmers of Burundi, like many in the world, are subject to the vagaries of their soil and climate. Before they can improve conditions, a new generation of farmers, trained in modern methods of crop cultivation, irrigation and food storage, must emerge. To create this new generation, the Burundi Government, in co-operation with the United Nations Development Programme - Special Funi (UNDP-SF), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), began the country's first Agricultural Technical Institute at Kitega. FAO is providing experts in agricultural extension, technical training, farm management, agronomy, animal production, rural economy, agricultural engineering and veterinary science.
