ORGANIC FARMING METHODS
Practically guides for organic methods like agroforestry, mulching, crop rotation and intercropping.

Successful organic farming is based on deep understanding of the functioning of the farming system including the unseen interactions which take place in the soil and between the big crops and animals on the farm; and the interactions among the people and between people, their farms and the society.
The FFLG approach is in its nature empowerment through sustainable development and capacity building targeted at improving and expanding organic farming methods such as agroforestry, mulching, crop rotation and intercropping. These methods have documented effects for mitigating the consequences of climate changes and preventing environmental degradation of natural resources that are prevalent in Uganda and Tanzania.
Farmer “advisors” ought to be very knowledgeable not only in the subject of living soils but also in the functioning of markets, processing of plants and animal products etc. Below you find different learning materials on organic farming methods.
