The CARDI Small Ruminants Programme aims at helping farmers in the sheep and goat industry to increase productivity through the use of best practice husbandry and enterprise management techniques.

To aid in this goal, the Caribbean Agriculture Research and Development Institute(CARDI) in collaboration with The University of the West Indies(UWI) AgriNeTT Team seek to implement an E-Learning Platform. This platform is used to store information regarding Small Ruminants Production and through the usage of various modules seeks to provide a holistic platform to aid those in the Small Ruminants industry.

The platform consists primarily of a web-based system found at http://csrp.cardi.org/. However, the mobile application attempts to provide similar functionality that has been optimized for the smaller screens, internet connectivity, and a variety of mobile devices used within the Small Ruminants industry in the Caribbean.

** Registration must be completed on the website before attempting to use the application. **
Features of the application includes:
- browse the content of your courses, even when offline
- receive instant notifications of messages and other events
- quickly find and contact other people in your courses
- upload images, audio, videos and other files from your mobile device

The app requires the following permissions:
