Agricultural Economist
Berkeley Engineering And Research
I have worked in rural development since 1992, mostly in multi-disciplinary teams, ranging from animal scientists, to crop specialists and water infrastructure technologists. My focus has been on women in agriculture, but not to the exclusion of men. Marketing products locally and regionally as well as internationally is the perennial challenge, and the water melon ripeness tester would be a tool that provides a competitive edge to small scale farmers in the lucrative business.

No more waste in water melons that do not sell because they are not sweet. Now every farmer can sell the best water melons at the best price
