Summary description of agroecological practice

Building resilience through poultry farming

Type of agroecological practice

Recycling of poultry waste.
Co creation and building of knowledge through participatory exchange of ideas with other farmers on poultry management
Diversification of crop and poultry to ensure food security and nutrition by conserving, enhancing and protecting them.

Implementing the practice

Using available household farm produce (grains) and supplementing it with available resources to formulate poultry feed
for income. Selling of chicken as source of income.

Why you use and what you expect from this practice?

use of the locally available resources is cost effective and very efficient. I expect an increase in poultry production with an improvement on income generation. Soil health too will improve as following the incorporation of the poultry waste in the kitchen garden hence increasing the quality of the vegetables.

Substitution of less ecological alternative
