Forest, Farm Producer Organizations trained in agroecological best practices

Thirty-five delegates from the Ghana Federation of Forest and Farm Producers (GhaFFaP) have been taught about agroecological best practises and the introduction of microorganisms into soils using locally accessible materials. The four-day training session was co-organized by GhaFFaP and Lifeworks Global in Techiman, Bono East, and gathered participants from Ghana's three ecological zones, including the Savanna, Transition, and Forest zones. The programme explored the use of mostly locally accessible materials such as animal dung, shrubs, leaves (dry and wet), grass, and other biomass crop harvest in an innovative compost process that can be applied in only 18 days. To guarantee long-term adoption of the ideas offered, the beneficiaries are expected to become trainers to farmers in their local areas.
