A partner community member in Kitagwenda District dries #coffee beans. Through RTV's training sessions, last-mile #farmers learn good post-harvest techniques like sorting, storage, and sun-drying, which improve crop quality, shelf life, and market value.
A partner community member in Kanungu digs a #water control trench in her garden. These trenches help trap rainwater, allowing it to soak into the soil instead of running off. This low-cost practice helps reduce #soil erosion and strengthen crop growth during dry periods.
