Andi Katarina, is one of the participants in the farmers field school for corn cultivation in the Omu village. She is a shining example of dedication and perseverance. She wholeheartedly embraced the seven-session field school program, absorbing valuable insights from ADRA and applying them diligently to her own land.
Throughout her journey in the field school, Andi Katarina learned invaluable lessons that transformed her farming practices. She adopted the art of cultivating corn with precision, using balanced fertilization techniques that not only improved crop quality but also saved her valuable resources. Furthermore, she acquired the knowledge to identify and combat pest infestations and diseases, ensuring the health and vitality of her crops.
“In the beginning, our harvest was meager, around 500 kilograms. However, after participating in ADRA’s program and implementing the newfound knowledge on our farm, we have achieved a bountiful harvest of 1.7 tons. We are immensely grateful to ADRA for equipping us with the skills we needed to thrive as farmers.”
With the increased income from her flourishing farm, she seized the opportunity to start a small shop in her house. She is very happy now.
