i appreciate your effort by giveing the farmer chemical fertilizer ,, it helpful to them for now , but it can affect them in the future so to prevent this problem ,, the best solution is to teach them organic agriculture ,,,, I like agriculture but love organic agriculture ,,
nature is life your know ? -
This is just propaganda to introduce chemicals to african farming...nothing good

the seeds you have. are pretty good because they are naturalized. but at the same time if you had a breeding program your yields would go up on the native seed. it sounds like what you need is to learn how to farm differently more than just using a bunch of new seeds. also using more modern methods for shipping. learning to be better farmers without inputs. it's teaching them how to farm like "American's" when that farmer works better in England than it ever did in the usa because climate needs ground cover you need to work in nature. you need PERMACULTURE. not this because once the fertilizer runs out? or if there is war, or attempted coupe what happens?.. i cringe every time i see these kinda things. using animals, permaculture, and using less annuls would help. this may work and may just get there land more chemically depended which isnt good

We are exporting organic fertilizers and non organic fertilizers from Ukraine. Our main market is based on Middle East, Europe and Asia regions.Serving the best quality fertilizers with the best price is our main target. We offer both organic fertilizers and organic mineral mixtures, amorphous and granulated as well. Chemical composition of the mixtures can be controllably varied to satisfy the requirements of a customer depending on the conditions of utilization.

Permaculture is the solution.

i totally agree with you, natural farming is the way forward.

Land degradation comes from chemical agriculture. If you use rock dust, compost and compost/worm teas, and leave crop residue on the land, you can use land forever. It will only grow richer and better yielding.

1) Don't start a documentary with a litany of 'problems'. 2) Clearly articulate what you want to say. (What untapped potential?) 3) Why do the people have to pay fees for education and healthcare again? (Hint: World Bank Structural Adjustment Programmes.) 4) High yielding seeds is nonsense. Ordinary non-GMO seeds are more than excellent. 5) People need irrigation, which only needs a little investment per farm.
