NGO to train Ghanaian farmers on
sustainable agriculture
Accra, March 26, GNA - Permaculture Network, a
non-governmental organization that promotes sustainable
agriculture systems and ecological principles, would
organize a training programme for farmers and farmer-based
organizations from April 23 to May 6 at Techiman.
The training programme is part of a programme dubbed: "Permaculture
Celebration" aimed at educating Ghanaian farmers about
natural land regeneration, composting, poly-culture farming,
recycling of household waste and erosion prevention.
A statement signed in Accra on Monday by Ms Brie Frey,
Co-organizer of Permaculture Celebration, said the
organization was collaborating with Mr Greg Knibbs, Director
of New Earth Enterprise in Australia to put together an
educative and exciting package for the farmers.
"Ghanaian farmers will have the opportunity to learn how to
improve soil quality, utilize trees to improve land quality
and participants will be able to network with other people
with similar interests," it said.
Permaculture called on farmer-based organizations to support
the programme to give Ghanaian farmers better opportunities
in their work.
