Organic agriculture through training in El Barrio Santa Teresita, Aldea El Rosario, Tacaná, San Marcos
This project is about the establishment of 33 plots of organic cultivation, each plot with 1.5 acres of broad beans and 2 acres of domestic potatoes ( Phaseolus and solanum tuberosum L.). Each plot will be worked with soil preservation techniques as terraces and living barriers, amounting to 115 cuerdas organically worked by the 33 project participants.
Among the schedule main activities are training issues on soil preservation, production of pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides and organic foliares fertilizers, and organic sowing, as well as project monitoring and evaluation.
They plan to get sustainability by dividing the production into three, one part for seeding, another for food consumption to improve their diet, and the third one for sale and so improving their incomes.
