Teaching youthThe initiative, which engages with youth, ages 18 to 14, aims at teaching young people demand-driven farming using modern, eco-friendly techniques that increase productivity and conserve water.



Providing life skills training, technical training on hydroponics, and on-the-job training in greenhouses, earnings are to be shared among individuals and reinvested in creating more sustainable growth.

The initial investment is designed to lead self-sufficient businesses within one year. The project also aims at stimulating local economic development in rural areas, building stronger supply chains, and improving food security.
