Bridging Smallholder Farmers to Resources and Opportunities
About Us
Our journey from humble beginnings to becoming a bridge for farmers
Our Story
Taungthutada, TTTD - Farmers' Bridge (တောင်သူ့တံတား) was started in September 2019 with the primary aim of improving farmers' access to information throughout Southern Shan State. As co-founding members primarily hail from farming communities, they aspired to the belief that 'Those who feed us, need us.'
