Agriculture Learning Center (Photos)




After the Tsunami, BA encountered a lot of difficulties with reconstruction. Yesterday, we witnessed one of these struggles first hand. The first portion of our day we learned about how the massive wipeout of resources resulted in a change of life.


The Tsunami itself removed a lot of topsoil and altered the soil ph/content. Which in turn made crops harder to grow and flooding more prevalent. With these changes, farmers have faced many challenges, yet these challenges have allowed natives to learn more about the actual science of agriculture through the help of partnering NGO's.
