Événement: Symposium on Best Practices in Sustainable Agriculture (13/02/2019)

Session: WorldVeg has implemented a project funded by USAID on scaling home gardens with traditional African vegetables to improve nutrition of young women and small children, and enhance incomes. The session will focus on the diversity of species being produced, the choices of adoption of good agricultural practices, the patterns of selling versus home consumption, gender labour divisions, and business opportunities and constraints for women vegetable producers.
