Celebrating World Science Day

Today we celebrate World Science Day for Peace and Development – a reminder of the important role science plays in society and in our everyday lives.

At SkillEd, we believe knowledge has the greatest impact when people can put it into practice. We make scientific information accessible in local languages and formats such as videos and audio, so that smallholder farmers can apply it in practice and use it to improve their farms and livelihoods.

Two of our projects illustrate this approach:

Together with our partner EWS KT (East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer), we support the translation of practical crop cultivation knowledge into action across ten countries in Africa and Asia. The project involves more than 10,000 smallholder farmers and reaches over 50,000 direct and indirect beneficiaries.

Through BUCRA, we provide smallholder farmers in Egypt with practical guidance and training on climate-smart agriculture, helping them apply knowledge and approaches that support more resilient farming.
