Managers and Supervisors from Estates department have been lined up to provide on field information to the audience on these topics\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ezekiah Ballah, a local farmer living in one of the neighbouring communities, has already learned valuable techniques and looks forward to the coming episodes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program gives farmers a voice and helps provide knowledge on the different steps of rubber planting,\u201d said Ballah. \u201cI am looking toward moving from animal farming to rubber planting, and this program will benefit me greatly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Educational programs like \u2018Back to the Farm\u2019 embody the value \u2018Empowerment\u2019 \u2013 one of the eight values outlined in the Bridgestone E8 Commitment \u2013 by sharing knowledge and educating society to ensure accessibility and dignity for all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
