There was a considerable information exchange among the actors in the system and the farmers in particular were active in disseminating innovative information and technology. Chapter three has the methodology that will be used to implement this system. Although there are several other models, waterfall model will be used since it has more advantages than the other models.This chapter also covers the time schedule for the project and an estimated budget.
