"We want to teach them that they learn to create a sustainable and self-sufficient agriculture.
Today their fields are not efficient, so that young people migrate to cities and abroad.
Agriculture has just introduced irrigation and is focused on products for export, such as tea or coffee.
Their crops are of low productivity and have big problems of transport and distribution "concludes the teacher.
