A component of the CfP includes providing access to technical knowledge to the farmers on a regular basis and direct technical training of farmers. The first step in achieving this goal was to conduct a workshop with community based trainers followed by farmer training. CfP implementers at Penn State University (PSU) together with partners from Peace Corps Colombia, UNODC and FEDECACAO, worked with USDA-FAS to organize the first CfP Bootcamp to provide basic training to Peace Corp Volunteers and farmer-leaders living in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region and the first CfP cacao farmer training.
