In developing countries such as Zambia, poverty levels are increasing, especially among rural households, the majority of whom rely on agriculture as their main source of livelihood.
One of the main contributing factors is climate change which has brought unpredictable weather patterns making farming planning very difficult. Therefore, there is need to find the best way of tackling this challenging global economic threat.
Tiger Animal Feeds, the leading feed manufacturer for all livestock species, is directly affected by climate change that has led farmers to scale down livestock farming activities due to increased cost. This is why Tiger Animal Feeds embarked on training farmers through seminars to improve their knowledge on how to cope with these changes.

Knowledge is a foundation for the competence and successful performance of a person. In the farming industry it consists of facts, concepts, as well as the understanding and application of information to farming businesses. There is no other route to successful farming than acquiring the correct knowledge which translates into farming skills.
