In this lesson you are expected to tie together the essentials of how to transform a farm into a firm through a group project presentation. The project activities include investigation of specific hindering factors as well as the enabling environments based on your own experiences. For this module, you are expected to reflect on topics covered in both this module and other modules and to consider lessons learned.  Out of these reflections you should be able to develop a work plan based on your farming situation.  The goal is to develop a realistic but sacrificial plan that will result in a fast transformation from a farm to a firm.
