About Program
Our Agriculture and Conservation program aims to harmonize sustainable farming practices with environmental preservation. Through a meticulous process, we engage in land clearing, prioritizing minimal disruption to ecosystems. Soil preparation involves organic methods, enhancing fertility and biodiversity while minimizing chemical impact.
We diligently weed, employing manual and natural techniques to maintain crop health without harmful herbicides. Planting encompasses a diverse range, from staple maize to a variety of vegetables and native plants. By incorporating crop rotation and companion planting, we foster soil health and pest resistance naturally.
Harvesting is approached with care, ensuring optimal timing for peak nutritional value and minimal waste. Additionally, our program includes the planting of fruit trees, promoting long-term sustainability and biodiversity.
