Farm Radio International boasts a long and proud history of equipping radio, broadcasters, community field practitioners and development workers throughout our the world with not only knowledge but also information necessary to contribute positively to addressing the socio-economic ills affecting farming families around the world. With the information we have received from Farm Radio scripts, we have managed to reach out more than 6000 rural farming households with useful information and tips on food production, climate change, nutrition and health as well as for sustaining their livelihoods in general.
We are confident that this tradition you have endeavoured for the past three decades will continue for years to come and we would like to wish you more success. As you honour the past and build the future, let us continue to make one of the basic fundamental human rights -– the right to education through information, a reality. TRALSO believes that together, we can make the dream of building economically vibrant and healthy rural communities a reality. We send you our heartfelt congratulations for the first 30 years and great success for the next coming years.

Through your work and support, TRALSO field staff is better equipped and informed to service the rural poor more effectively and efficiently.
