Spreading innovation through the grapevine

As a farmer, he wondered if grapes could grow in urban areas as well. In 2013, he went on an agricultural tour to Europe with fellow farmers. This tour was organised by the state's agriculture department to show farmers agricultural practices implemented in different parts of the world. He travelled to the Netherlands, Germany, Frankfurt, and Holland. He saw how farmers in Holland plant grapevines in their backyard. This helped him realise that it was possible to grow grapes at home.
