On Saturday, Sunrise School teachers came to ISEC to participate in an Organic Gardening Workshop. Thank you for the very interesting morning! Many current farming practices use chemicals pesticides and fertilizers, monoculture crops and hybrid seeds. Farmlands where these techniques are practiced often experience serious problems with poor soil conditions and serious pest and plant disease problems. Many farmers are also poor because they are required to purchase a great deal of their inputs for farming from commercial outlets. The chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides, chemical herbicides, tractors, hybrid seeds and even plastic mulch that is used can cost most of a farmers earned profits. Farming techniques which will promote independence instead of dependence are much better for farmers and their families and are much more sustainable for the environment. Use organic methods of farm management, practice PERMACULTURE! Permaculture is ideas and techniques for sustainable community development. It’s a holistic, ecological approach to designing and developing human settlements, which helps to increase quality of life.
