IESC improves the safety and quality of ag imports to the U.S. and other markets by strengthening plant health monitoring from farm to post-harvest. We support better pest management, diagnostics, & lab capacity to help farmers grow healthier crops & meet international standards.
IESC uses Farmer Field Schools to encourage knowledge transfer among smallholders who learn from one another through practice and discovery on a farm. With strong leadership from community farmers, good agricultural practices are adopted more easily, empowering whole communities.
