During the session, the trainees were thoroughly introduced to the wide array of online learning opportunities provided by ATI, which are designed to supplement their academic training with practical and research-based knowledge in various fields of agriculture.

As part of the orientation, the trainees were guided through the enrollment process and successfully registered for the course 'Basic Urban Gardening.'
