Location: Quinta de Penhó, Celorico de Basto, Portugal
Registration fee: 550 EUR*
Limited places
​This intensive in person training with Chris Trump will enable its participants, whether they are experienced in KNF or not, to be effective in using natural agriculture techniques on their farm and provide a wealth of knowledge.
With a focus on viticulture, this course has a strong practical and hands-on component, while also providing a robust set of technical and scientific information. ​
It is an unique opportunity to learn about the use of indigenous microorganisms in the vineyard in order to maximize yields at a fraction of the annual cost associated with fertilizers and traditional treatments and to increase the resistance of the vines to fungi and pests.
