In this three (3) day training, participants are introduced to the key importance of biodiversity and its role in improving the natural systems of the earth that are related soil fertility and pest management. Basic soil science will be discussed and training participants will be asked to ascertain the physical characteristics of their farms and identify possible sources of biomass. There will be a one day demonstration on how to make various organic concoctions, composting techniques, insect attractants/repellants. The impacts of chemical agriculture on soil fertility and pest prevalence are discussed in detail.
In this Two (2) day training, farmers get to know different breeds of Small and Large Ruminants, Swine and Poultry suitable for organic production. The feeding requirements for its different stages of development shall be heavily discussed and how farmers can source them out without the use of commercially produced feeds. A planning workshop will also be conducted so that farmers can determine the ideal plants they can use for feed so that they can integrate a feed garden in their farms. A special session on Ethno-veterinary medicines will be conducted to capacitate farmers on how to deal with disease and viruses that affect their livestock which they can get from organically produced sources.
