WHY
ORGANIC FARMING?
Organic food is known to be expensive in western countries. However, in the developing world, it remains the most affordable way of producing food. Organic farming also regenerates soils, improves the quality of rivers and the environment at large.
We foster the use of local and free resources to improve the self-sufficiency of our beneficiaries. Building on the techniques adopted since 2015 at our center, in 2022 we launched an organic farming training program aimed at increasing community self-reliance.
Despite all human achievements, we owe our existence to a few inches of fertile soil and the fact that it rains.
