Environmental policy and administrative management

This project will attempt to transform the way in which farmers use the land by introducing them to sustainable agricultural practices. The grantee will undertake a series of studies and schedule meetings and a workshop which will help determine the willingness of the farmers to move to a more organic mode of farming, identify the challenges for transitioning, clearly articulate the opportunities in moving towards organic production, and determine the extent of the market for organic produce. A comprehensive report will document the findings and a Full Grant Project Proposal will be the means for working with selected farmers who wish to make the transition to a more organic type of agriculture.
