Starting point
The first step to understanding the scope of the project was to learn what shaped our landscape and seasons in Liberia, this learning experience helped us to be successful in improving Liberia's farming activities...
Support from local communities
Location, scale, and accessibility were crucial to this project. We wanted to make the biggest but most realistic impact to Liberia farming landscape.
End result
