A THREE-DAY symposium focused on organic farming and sustainable agriculture projects comes to an end today.

The forum provided an avenue for farmers from the provinces of Ra and Macuata to engage with regional experts regarding best farming practices and ways their farmland can become more resilient.

The event was organised by the Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises and Development (FRIEND) and funded by the United States Government, through the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
