Agro-pastoral training kicked off in Rumbek on Monday with attracting 40 participants.
Acting Agriculture Minister Joseph Maker Madit urged the participant to take the knowledge to their people in the village, Good News Radio reported.
He criticized the idea that most educated people in South Sudan choose only to live in towns rather taking the skills they learned at Schools and universities to their communities.
Food and Agriculture Organization or FAO State Project Coordinator Louis Bagare said the training focuses on running and implementation of farmer field school and community management risk reduction.
The training drew participants from Rumbek Central, Rumbek East and Cueibet Counties.
