Africa RISING in Ethiopia organized a farmer’s field day event on 24 December 2020, in Bale, Oromia Region. The field day aimed to create awareness, measure the progress and get feedback on the ongoing food and forage crops technologies. Animal feed seed multiplication on farmers training centers as well as wheat clustered seed multiplication on seed producer's cooperative were included on the visit. Over 120 participants from university, cooperatives, regional, zonal and district officials, development agents and model farmers have attended the field day. The field day helped promote information exchange and technology transfer among farmers and other stakeholders in agricultural development in the region.
