Does your project work with diverse, under-served or underrepresented audiences? Yes

Please explain briefly how your project works with these audiences. As one of the most important objectives of this project, it will benefit underserved and small farmers and ranchers of the state of Delaware, especially those who are socially disadvantaged and underserved. This project will improve the level of efficiency on their farms while taking good care of the soil, water, and environment by removing excess pollutants and nutrients using the ATR system. We expect the ATR system will have a direct positive impact on the farmers by (1) reducing the input cost, (2) developing the farmers skill in sustainability, (3) increase the productions of the farm, and natural resources conservation.
