Today was our first full day, and we were out in the field. We are trying to help the villagers increase their crop yields, and market them effectively. The villagers produce a compost supplemmented by earthworms called Vermi Compost, which produces very rich fertilizer, and our job was to find out how to sell the farmers' surplus compost. We went around to several nurseries in the surrounding area to gauge the prices that we can sell our compost, and also if anyone is willing to buy it. We went by bus, and while it was very tiring walking everywhere in the heat, we were successfully able to gather much information.
