WHAT WE WANT TO DO One of the primary objectives of the project is to improve food production by utilizing organic farming techniques that help to maintain soil fertility and reduce the use of harmful chemicals. This approach not only benefits the health of the community but also helps to preserve the environment for future generations. Another key area of focus for the project is Agroforestry, which involves growing trees and crops together to create a sustainable and diverse ecosystem. This approach not only provides a source of food and income for the community but also helps to mitigate the effects of climate change by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere.
