Thursday, Dr. Louis G. Lamothe Foundation (FLGL), the Seguin Foundation and Café Selecto had an important meeting around the protection of the agricultural road (2.6 km) starting from Furcy to Panyol in the third communal section Sourçailles (Kenscoff), currently under construction https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18190-haiti-social-monitoring-of-work-of-the-agricultural-road-furcy-nan-panyol.html

According to agronomist Thomas Jacques of the FGLGL it's to secure the farm track by setting the soil, by putting in ground seedlings and bamboo cuttings to stabilize the upper and lower side of the road about 2.66 km and draining water resurgences, flowing along the farm road. 10,000 seedlings will be needed for this operation. The upper and lower slope of the agricultural road will be treated with hedges formed of bamboo cuttings. It is not excluded to add other varieties of bamboo and other species that could allow the protection of the road embankment such as Jimpa, the loquat and vetiver.

The participants agreed to bring their contribution to the success of this task, and reviewed the different options that will lead to the funding of this project. Transport of agricultural products of Panyol in better conditions and density of vegetation cover of this area are the main benefits of the protection work of the agricultural road.
