LSAI is aimed at giving meaning to the statement that Agriculture is the main stead of the Liberian economy, thereby making Liberia one of the highest producers of food items and major Exporters in the West African Region.
Meanwhile, we are embarking on a massive production scheme establishing farmstead in Grand Gedeh and Lofa counties where farmers, students, researchers and other workers from different institutions will come to gain and share knowledge in crops, animal, and fish production. |
