• Field days – are held in February/March at each demonstration plot.
• Follow-up visits, regular visits to trained farmers
• Radio programs – since 2001, KATC has been running a weekly agricultural radio program in collaboration with Yatsani community radio based in Lusaka. KATC also runs radio programs with other radio stations including ZNBC the national broadcaster.
