Let’s work at night as if it were still day, Jonard tells us. Before farming, his wife was a factory worker and he was a laborer. They couldn’t make ends meet.

With a land as small as 1/8th hectare and a lot of perseverance and hard work, they were able to send their kids to school. Jonard Octat is one of East West Seeds' Farmer Heroes in 2017.
