Training
Ecoscience carries out Pest Control and Food Safety evaluations of Food Industries in Namibia, Mauritius and South Africa.  These evaluation are presented in a report which highlights findings as well as suggests probable solutions.  Ecoscience trains Governmental Inspectors (ACT 36/1947), private persons wishing to open Pest Control Companies outside and a wide spectrum of personnel form the food industry in the Sub-Saharan Africa.
