The RDC recognized the need for environmental conservation and appreciated the organization for moving in the direction the government is taking in combating climate change through environmental protection.
All speeches by invited guests pointed to the need to have the program rolled over to other sub Counties since it promoted improvement of soil fertility through organic means and therefore would improve production and productivity without affecting the environment.
