The Bhutanese resolve for change: How one farmer’s faith unlocked a village’s potential

Abstract

Linking farmers to school is a major activity undertaken by Bhutan Government’s Food Security and Agriculture Productivity Project (FSAPP). Here is a story of a farmer whose passion and resolve made it possible to form one of the most successful farmer groups in the country. The group now supplies vegetables to schools, helping poor farmers make a living out of their products and helping students eat local, fresh and nutritious products.
