Event: ECHO East Africa Biennial Symposium 2023 Sustainable Agriculture Best Practices (21/02/2023)

Session: The importance of the media to motivate sustainable agriculture and care for the soil The session will challenge agricultural stakeholders to use the media more fully to motivate people to adopt sustainable agriculture.
