Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Chemical fertilizer and pesticides have polluted our soil, atmosphere, and environment. This pollution is reflected in reduced crop yields and causes contamination of food. Effective Micro-Organism (EM) is a new technology and tool to offset this environmental damage by replacing chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This project benefits the 400 organic farmers participating in this project as well as the people who eat the chemical-free food produced by the project.

Activities

Farmers' interest group formation, establishment of a farmers' field school, orientation & training, organic farming demonstration, yield & data collection, capacity building and information packages, & an extension service to early adopter farmers
