Our team in India have successfully enrolled 175 farmers in the program, with 81 greenhouses installed up to date! This means that with your help,we have exceeded our initial goal of enlisting 150 farmers.
How did we achieve this?
We have improved the awareness building program by working closely with village communities, farmer collectives, and seed, fertilizer and irrigation suppliers. We have also introduced prevention training kits to help the farmers to understand how to reduce the likelihood of problems arising, and have delivered more complete programs.
Improved Greenhouse design:
With feedback from the farmers, we have also improved the design of the greenhouses. The greenhouses are bigger and significantly more efficient upon the use of land, water, seed and fertilizer resources, thus enabling farmers to grow twice as much crops and earning more income.
Greater Crop Diversity:
We have also launched field trials for growing cucumber, capsicums, green beans, lettuce, broccoli and chilies to help the farmers produce crops that remain in constant demand, thus improving their ability to earn a sustainable income.
Helping provide sustainable livelihoods for poor farmers is our passion. Please continue to support our team's efforts to help deliver these positive outcomes and continue to follow the progress being made with your kind and generous help.
