Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals links together agriculture and education for developing countries towards sustainability. In line with these goals this research has done a “grass-root” experience in a rural area of a sub-Saharan country where a small NPO has been working for more than 20 years. Six villages have been chosen where the NPO already had built wells and child nutritional centres. Regularly, the NPO builds and donates the well for the farmers and starts a training program in both agriculture and nutrition on how to create small farms, cultivate several different vegetables.
