At the begining of second season, we conducted a training on organic farming where smallholder farmers in Bulyango parish, Kitoba subcounty, Hoima District were trained on organic farming techniques and different soil treatments of compost, biochar and urine for either human or domestic animals like rabbits, cows, goats and pigs .The training covered those topics composting, natural pest control, soil fertility, crop rotation, and water conservation.
We also taught them how to set up bed in which gardens are raised into manageable plots because this allows soil to mix well.
The training enhanced farmers' understanding on the importance of using organic agricultural inputs in pest and disease contral and boosting of soil fertility.
As an organisation, we shall continue promoting organic farming among smallholder farmers of Kitoba subcounty for soil health and agricultural sustainability.
