Some
three hundred and ten women in Brikamaba, Lower Fulladu West of the Central
River Region (CRR) have turned to gardening to fight off food security threats
after a failed rice-growing season.
More
than five hundred women and their families, 282 kilometers from the Gambian
capital, Banjul, saw their rice fields completely destroyed by floods following
torrential rains between July and September in 2015, the villagers told TNBES on Friday.
