Continued growth of the seedling project
/This month our agronomist gave seedlings to 30 families at REAP’s model farm. These families with previously malnourished children and mothers are now freed from malnutrition thanks to participating in our nutrition workshops. These families formed a self-help group to collaboratively practice proper nutrition. The agronomist first taught them modern agriculture techniques and had them practice these techniques in the farm before giving them seedlings about 50 seedlings of green peppers, onions, cabbages, cucumbers, beet roots, carrots, and eggplants. With these seedlings, the families will create vegetable gardens in their backyards to support their nutrition and increase productivity.
