What is Agri-Plus?

Farm life is difficult in developing countries. While many farmers may have adequate resources, often they lack the necessary knowledge and training to succeed in life. The objective of Agri-Plus is to help farmers realize their God-given resources and implement sustainable farming practices. We want to help them identify opportunity.
