Green Hectares has three areas of development for growing their mission of increasing and improving agriculture knowledge by delivering opportunities to learn, teach, meet and compete. One of the first major projects is the Rural Alberta Road Show. Green Hectares will be developing 10 two hour long workshops that will assist in helping rural Albertans learn to use the internet as a tool for research, education and business. They will be working to bring these workshops to the people. Partnerships with Community Adult Learning Centres, a mobile laptop lap, mobile internet – all these pieces will work towards delivering this training all over Alberta.
