Selecting Land

The Ag. Projects Manager and a close advisor are currently in discussions with private farmers, the National Center for Ag. Research and Extension and development partners to secure land for trials over the next 4 years of the AC4D intervention.  We are also in the process of reviewing bids for drip irrigation and fertigation systems.

AC4D Secures Funding for 2014-2015 Season

The Ag. Cooperation for Development program has been fully funded by the Swedish Mission Council.  Farm trials will commence starting September 1 in the Middle Ghor with the planting of tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplant and we will establish asparagus and artichoke on December 1.  Our intercropping experiments will start in February of 2015. 

We look forward to a year of developing expertise and enhancing our engagement with the agricultural community.
