Why CABI created the Introduction to Bioprotection Products Course

CABI designed the Introduction to Bioprotection Products Course to support teachers, trainers and practitioners in agricultural education institutions and the workplace. They provide interactive exercises and resources to help participants learn about scientifically sound biological control solutions to control crop pests and diseases.

The materials work equally well for self-study, as they provide all the information and context required.

We believe that digital media can complement other traditional forms of training to deliver high-quality, more accessible, self-paced and adaptive learning that will help learners acquire and implement skills to make them more productive.
