Development of the Demo Farm is progressing well. The training centre is now complete, also incorporating a small laboratory and a mushroom growing facility.
First livestock has been introduced (goats) to help "mow" the grass and fertilize the soil!
A water tower will shortly be constructed to faciliate gravity fed irrigation for the vegetable crops. Manual watering during the dry summer months is extremely time consuming.
A Bamboo Garden has been created to demonstrate a useful technique where soils are poor or more space is needed. Other crops can be planted underneath. A banana plantation provides shade
