Nourishing the Planet TV: Texting on the Farm (Ft. Grameen Bank & Mobile Transactions)

In this week's episode, research intern Kaia Clarke discuss one tool that for farmers is even more important than the seeds, soil, and water needed to cultivate food for the table and to sell at the market—knowledge.
