Urban Farming Demonstration Farm
Under our farm, maintain a specialized site used to showcase new
agricultural technologies, crops, or sustainable practices to farmers and
stakeholders through hands-on, practical learning. Our demonstration firm targets urban residents
mainly the urban women on how to utilize the small pieces of land they own to
derive sustainability.
Urban farming enables one to grow food, and
sometimes rare small animals like rabbits on a small piece of land and within
the city. At our demonstration farm we are also engaged in Agri-Tourism (where
small teams come in to be trained) and seedling production.
