ROMAINE, MONO DEPARTEMENT
"The support I received allowed me to diversify my activities and to strengthen my knowledge on business management and agroecology. I am now a certified agroecological farm entrepreneur because I have received a certificate and equipment to implement the practices I learned on my site. I am proud to be an agroecological role model, to share my knowledge with other women in my community and to sell healthy local products for consumers."
