Weekly Meeting with Dr Pemberton

Due to the nationwide power outage on Wednesday, the meeting was postponed to Thursday.

This was a group meeting where each person took turns speaking about their project. This setting helps me learn from others on how I can improve my own project. My peers also gave me advice on how to execute certain parts like obtaining customs tax fees on machinery etc. From this meeting, I clarified some things pertaining to my location selection. 

Overall, this was a productive meeting and I will continue to work hard on this project.

Sustainable Agriculture

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxzvj2f7mkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iloAQmroRK0 From these videos, I learnt about sustainable agriculture and its benefits.  Environmental sustainability in  agriculture means good stewardship of  the natural systems and resources  that farms rely on among other things. Sustainable agricultural techniques include crop diversity, intercropping  and crop rotations.  Sustainable practises build and maintain healthy soil, manage water, minimize air, water and climate pollution as well as promote biodiversity. It also assists in controlling  pests and weeds, replenish soil nutrients , reduce the need for pesticides/herbicides and reduce tillage.

Based on this article on the ttconnect page, I can assume the machinery will have no duties fees.

Submission of First Draft to Dr Pemberton

Today I sent a rough draft of my FYP progress to my supervisor. Some calculation tables were incomplete in the report but I still submitted it to show where my thought process is at right now. I hope the work I have done so far is up to standard and I am able to complete this entire report within the deadline.
