Description

On 9 October 1970, Afghanistan established demonstration farms to showcase the benefits of structured crop rotation. Specialists tested alternating wheat, legumes, and fodder crops to observe soil recovery. Farmers were invited to participate in workshops held directly on the demonstration fields. Early results showed improved soil fertility and reduced pest pressure. The project helped promote sustainable farming across rural provinces.
