The team also inspect the trial onion experiments as there growth caught the eyes of researchers.\u00a0 For the first time in the history of the garden, farmers were able to harvest significant amounts of kilograms of onions according to there testimonies. An old woman, Fatou Jarjue who is in her 70 years was able to harvest 56.95Kg on onion while Fatoumatta Jallow harvested over 52kg among other farmers. \u201cThese is an impressive performance seeing what the farmers have achieved.\u201d Said Dr Sawaneh. He expressed delight that farmers have now seen the fruit of their labour emphasizing the importance of technology in agricultural production. Dr Sawaneh explained the significance role played by the new drip irrigation system that has reduced drudgery for women who over the years struggled with adequate water supply in the garden. Hopefully he went on to say that similar initiative can be replicated in other communities with the support of consortium partners particularly Dundee\u2019s of the RECCLUM project, Federal Ministry of Higher Education and Research Germany (BMBF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
