Then, two years ago, Samata met Tetteh Noah, a field advisor from Grameen Foundation’s AgroTech program. He asked detailed questions about the farm, collecting the vital data through the AgroTech app. Over several meetings, he helped her create a customized plan to develop their land, such as learning new planting methods and how to use agrochemicals.

Traveling by motorbike on rural Ghana’s dirt roads, Racheal Derchie is an anomaly.

Young and university-educated, Racheal is the unlikely face of the future of farming in a country where the average farmer is 55 and poorly educated.

Racheal works with 200 smallholder farmers in Grameen Foundation’s AgroTech project. She uses its digital app suite to analyze and understand each farm’s history and needs. She teaches the farmers new practices, trains them in record keeping, and helps them obtain loans to purchase inputs.

Bet you wouldn’t guess where this bright, warm home is ... (I sure didn’t. 😲).  

“My partner and I both lead very busy lives and our home is our sanctuary. It's also where I live and work—so creating a warm, inviting living room where we can relax, unwind and hang out with friends was really important to me. My ultimate goal was to create a comfortable, creatively inspiring room brimming with good vibes and positive energy! Our apartment is six years old and we purchased it from a builder who was inspired by earth's natural elements. That inspiration was one of the reasons I originally fell in love with this apartment—so I used that concept as my inspiration for our living room refresh as well.”

While I can think of at least one person who sees Kelly green as an all-year, every-year choice, this is the week that everyone jumps on board.

According to this, I should have a gold velvet sofa. 😕

OR someone got my birthday wrong, and I’m really a Virgo/Libra cusp with a moon or something in Capricorn.

If your bedroom doesn’t feel like a refuge from the real world, you’re doing it wrong.

Fun and bright mid-century remodel. Great use of color and restored pieces. (warning: Mario has a ponytail).

Mel is a designer and her husband Mario is a filmmaker; when they decided to purchase a home, there was one thing that was most important. "We knew we wanted a renovation project where we could design everything ourselves."

Can we just take a moment to marvel at these new basins from Kast Concrete Basins?
