Description
Sustainable agriculture (planting and marketing organic agricultural products).
Why does the innovation or project matter?
At present there are not many people who are willing to pursue a profession as a farmer, because they regard farming as not producing sufficient income for their day-to-day needs. This is one of the factors that has caused a lot of land to be vacant and not utilized such that there is pressure to alter the function of the land and use it for non-agricultural pursuits. This initiative aims to restore agricultural land to its original function through the development of organic agricultural products in a way that is straightforward and does not require a lot of capital. With this effort, hoped for outcomes include a reduction in the amount of land changing function and a reduction of the chemical burden in the environment by applying organic systems.
