The Women in Eastern Indonesia really have a potential to grow vegetables. We started with Leafies Vegetable to make them more interested in vegetable farming. Women farmers have more time and teamwork in growing vegetable than the men. They also can be a vegetable seller they have harvested crops.

Leafy vegetables crops are very easy to plant – not only by small scale farmers but also by women or anyone by simply sowing leafy seeds in house-yards, polybags, or a more recent approach of vertical garden. It can be grown on open soil with simple raise beds or with media mix in crop boxes. It can also be harvested in 2-3 weeks’ time. We expect that leafies vegetable is the right starter crop to improve their income, nutrition and vegetable farming skills.

Tanaman sayuran ini sangat mudah untuk ditanam – tidak hanya oleh petani skala kecil tetapi juga oleh siapa pun dengan hanya menyemaikan benih tanaman ini di pekarangan rumah, polybag, atau dengan pendekatan menggunakan vertical garden. Kami berharap, dengan adanya program 3 sayuran daun ini akan menjadi langkah awal untuk meningkatkan pendapatan, nutrisi, dan kemampuan dalam menanam sayuran.
