In 2017 the ministry began funding an agronomist, Myriel Fanfan, to work with local farmers. Working in a class setting or one-on-one, he teaches the most efficient farming methods, crop optimization and, sustainability techniques. His work has resulted in a tree nursery that supplies the community with many varieties of trees (mango, papaya, coconut, lemon, avocado, moringa) that can be planted and used to improve household nutrition and provide produce to sell at market.
