Matukio yajayo: West Africa [ Onyesha Yote ]

This series aims to serve the working group that ECHO and network members in Central Africa have joined to advance sustainable agriculture and agroecosystem strategies for smallholder farmers in practical ways. All are welcome to attend sessions that are pertinent to your work. Topics of the series include:

• Erosion and Flood Management
• Soil Pollution
• Land Conflicts, Transhumance, and Rural Infrastructure
• Climate Change
• Beekeeping (Apiculture)
• Aquaculture (Pisciculture)
• Appropriate technology for regenerative farming
• Seed Saving
• Biopesticides
• Biofertilizers

Farming is often perceived as a dirty, lowly, and undesirable job. The Faith and Farming programme seeks to encourage farmers by highlighting and learning from the many farmers in scripture. We learn about farming through our own experiences and by talking to farmers, so that we can provide helpful resources to encourage and bless them. Workshop participants will be introduced to farmers and farming in scripture and will explore how their faith can influence their farming practices.
