Information about the project
Krishoker Janala (Farmer's Window)
KJP
The 25,000 strong field force of agriculture extension workers are not equally knowledgeable about all the problems that any farmer might face during the various stages of pre-production, production, and post-production and therefore might suffer from a lack of confidence when suggesting solutions to the affected farming communities. The farmers of Bangladesh do not receive up-to-date and timely information on ways to identify and treat plant diseases, and their lack of formal education means they use crude and inaccurate terms to identify with plant diseases. These challenges have been addressed by Krishoker Janala, an inexpensive-to-build and inexpensive-to-operate, user-centric indigenous innovation.
