A majority of the problem is that Monsanto is a huge company that just keeps getting bigger with a ton of money behind it and the farmers that they are up against are just small family farms that don’t have the…

Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) are a great tool in sustainable agricultural development programs because it is a participatory extension approach that includes a significant focus on group and individual capacity building of farmers.

Moreover, a president needs to travel around the world very often to negotiate or visit important meetings.…
