During this reporting period, ODOV technical staff conducted field follow-up visits with the training participants to ensure that they are capable to implement their learning knowledge to produce their homestead food production. A total of individual 50 participants (32 women) received additional technical support from ODOV technical staff. The 50 trained participants continued to grow vegetables and raise chickens to support their daily household consumption.

The result of the field monitoring confirmed that the 50 trained participants are successful in growing vegetables and raising chickens. These farmers have enough vegetables and chickens meats for their daily household consumption as well as earning additional income to support their families.

Significantly, in the last three months, a total of 6,300kg of vegetables and 750kg of chicken meats were produced by the individual households. Sixty seven percentage of food produced (vegetables and of chicken meats) were consumed by the individual household, the surplus food produced had been sold for incomes to support their families, and an average a household earned additional income $75 from the selling the surplus vegetables and chicken meats within three months.
