Agro-Design Workshop

May, 2022

Through our partners Impact Designs – Denmark, Bobo Eco Farm has received a generous financial gift from The One Life Foundation to establish a workshop that will design and produce machines aimed at improving the productivity and incomes of smallholder farmers through agro-processing (value addition) and also reduce drudgery in agricultural production.

Reducing drudgery is especially important in alleviating the strain on women who are the main actors in smallholder agricultural production, and may also attract the young generation into farming.

We welcome partnerships, and internships especially for post-graduate Engineering students to participate in designing machines and tools that respond to the needs of farmers and society in general.

“All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence”. Martin Luther King Jr.
