Trainings & Semminars
Agricultural training
Organic agriculture has much higher rates of income, with farmers on average making 22-35% more than those in conventional agriculture. Organic farming methods remove the need for chemicals and other products, favoring nature-based solutions. Our business consultant will provide free knowledge on organic farming practices in the following areas:
Omni-directional income education seeks to help farmers by opening up new markets. This course helps farmers to seek as many ways as possible to sell every crop they grow. Every crop can be used in multiple ways to make or save a farmer money.
Companion planting is a short strategy of the planting of different crops in close proximity of one another during the same harvest for a number of different reasons. These include: pest control, pollination, providing a habitat for beneficial insects, maximizing use of space, and increasing crop productivity.
Row crop farming is a strategy in which seeding and planting is done in rows wide enough to allow it to be tilled and serviced by agricultural machinery or employees tailored for specialized crops. Row farming requires extra planning and specialized seeding techniques, but allows farmers to heavily reduce the amount of water, chemicals, fertilizers, and seeds per acre.
Succession planting is the strategy of field management which allows farmers to grow crops back-to-back in a rapid fashion. After a few months of preparation, this allows a farmer to be able to grow crops on a weekly basis. This requires a high amount of education and planning, but can lead to weekly harvests and a very stable source of income.
There are 20 types of crops that grow in 20 – 60 days. This means that any farmer can plant a seed and, in 20 to 60 days, can have food available for the market! This strategy can help a farmer create a stable income and provide a sustainable food supply for his or her community.
