Millennium Fellowship Project: Agri-Mind Shift
My project " agri-mind shift" aims at teaching farmers who took their produce to urban markets and leave little to their families this lead to malnutrition, high prices and traveling of long distances to search for some commodities. By teaching them their minds will be changed and they will adopt modernized agriculture practices which will increase yield and they will get food for families and market
