It is a great challenge to try new production methods, especially in agriculture, where farmers are always concerned about loosing their crops if they changed. It is worthwhile to try, since the benefits can be immense, sometimes improving soil fertility as well as your harvest. Amos Guandam Nganga  is a great example of a man took this challenge and benefited a lot from it.
