Our food is a reflection of the soil and water used to grow it.

This means that healthy soil = healthy, safe & nutritious food.

It also means that if soil is not healthy, its ability to store and filter water is reduced.

#Soil and water are interconnected!

[World Food Programme @WFP]

In #Burundi, WFP supports pregnant and new mums to access enriched and fortified foods.

Every child deserves good nutrition. 💙

Greenhouses have control of microclimate,good distribution of light inside the greenhouse,energy efficiency, automation potential and design customization.

[Farm to Fork GH @FarmToForkgh]

Greenhouses are frames of inflated structure covered with a transparent material in which crops are grown under controlled environment conditions. A greenhouse lets you create your own microclimate, controlling the temperature and humidity you expose your plants to.

[Farm to Fork GH @FarmToForkgh]

The most notable benefits of a greenhouse are increased production, short and long-term cost savings, control over temperature and humidity, optimum sealing against rain and air, excellent ventilation,production off-season, protection against diseases and pests.
