Project Report | Oct 11, 2010
Training in Organic Sustainable Agriculture

By Gillian Wilson | Project Leader

Starting October 12 for a limited time, GlobalGiving will be matching donations for this project! Donate and maximize your impact!

By focusing on agro-ecology training, facilitating market access and raising issues about the impacts of industrial agriculture and GMOs, Biowatch helps disadvantaged households achieve household food security in areas where there is little to no access to basic life necessities.

Over 544 people received training on non-chemical, low to no-cost agricultural practices that can be used to grow food for household consumption, which has contributed to an increase in the overall nutrition of community members. In addition, project members are also becoming empowered as they learn about food security issues, understand their rights to food and farming choices and receive training on leadership development and decision-making skills.

Your support will allow Biowatch to continue their incredible work and help reach households who have limited access to safe, nutritional food sources.
