In agriculture I favour an integrated approach, as growing crops is never a “stand alone” practice. Agriculture is an enterprise that involves investments in inputs, choices for seed varieties, crop husbandry and product marketing.
To develop appropriate agricultural solutions I work with the local experts to understand the local situation and identify bottlenecks and options for improvement. Working this way I have been envolved in:
- Promotion of Intercropping systems
- Soil protection measures
- Composting and soil improvements
- Input distribution with local merchants
- Introduction of crops / varieties
- Contract farming
- Zero grazing
