Home Seedling Nursery and Bio Control Project in Barbados
This project aims to reduce the quantity of chemicals used in agriculture by replacing them with bio-chemicals and bio- fertilizers which could be the basis of a small business. In addition, this project will engage stay-at-home caregivers to less - abled children in a micro-enterprise of germinating organic seedlings for sale to organic farmers at home.
The planning grant will be used to identify and/or develop the research methodology into local bio-chemicals and bio-fertilizers; develop suitable criteria for selection of the care givers; convene meetings with the stakeholders; hold one workshop for training project beneficiaries (care givers); complete an income and expenditure impact projection report; and draft and finalize the project proposal.

Replication of project activities
