Descripción resumida de la práctica agroecológica

Tree Nusery operation for commercial and ecological benefits

Tipo de práctica agroecológica

Multipurpose agroforestry

Implementación de la práctica

I develop the tree seedlings on a seedbed ( some of the seeds I buy while majority I produce on-farm)
I use organic manure and use potting bags and recycled products
for the seedlings

In terms of water use, I have a small water pan that I use for rain water harvesting that I later use for the practice.

In terms of market access, I sell the seedlings locally and sometimes in outside markets. I also plant some on my farm

¿Por qué usas y qué esperas de esta práctica?

1. There is availability of products used in the practice and this makes the work easier.
2. There is ready market for the seedlings
