In the three farming seasons that this project took,  SATG has provided support and expertise to not only the farmers but also other stakeholders within the sector. SATG’s main aim in this was to give the various stakeholders ( i.e. students, lead and contact Farmers, staff of the Ministries of Agriculture and Livestock) the opportunity to improve and increase their knowledge and practical skills by facilitating and teaching them practical and field experiences.

To other stake holders who actively participated in the program we say
