Programme Brief
Microgreens Masterclass - A Practical Approach to Starting a Microgreens Business is designed for persons who have an interest in starting a business in microgreens production. Microgreens is an increasingly popular product that promotes a healthier nutrition-packed plant that caters to a healthy active lifestyle.
What are Microgreens:
Microgreens are young seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs. Unlike larger herbs and vegetables that take weeks or months to grow, microgreens can be harvested and eaten a week to 10 days after the cotyledon — a part of the embryo within the seed — leaves have developed.
These tiny plants are big on flavour and loaded with antioxidants and vitamins. Plus, they're super easy and quick to grow yourself.
Even if you lack space for a garden, growing microgreens indoors near a sunny window (or under a grow light) is a snap. Within a few weeks, you can go from seeds to a crop of tiny, tasty edibles ready to snip, eat or sell.
On completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- Understand the horticultural science of plant care, pest and disease management
- Understand fertilizer application
- Post-harvest handling technology
- Establishing their own microgreens farm
The duration of this course is 12 contact hours.
