BRACE
BRACE has reshaped my innovative ideas about climate-smart agriculture through an increase in production, reduction of GHG, and adoption of new technology. I honestly can't keep this vital information to myself alone, but I also want to do step-down training for our beneficiaries and the communities. Thank you, BRACE
