Description sommaire de la pratique agroécologique
Tree Nusery operation for commercial and ecological benefits
Type de pratique agroécologique
Multipurpose agroforestry
Mise en œuvre de la pratique
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
Pourquoi utilisez-vous cette pratique et qu'attendez-vous d'elle ?
1. There is availability of products used in the practice and this makes the work easier.
2. There is ready market for the seedlings
