We are moving forward with our “Banakale Pabi” School Farm in the Matavén community of Siwo Tsenebo.
With the technical assistance of the Granja Tarapacá Foundation, we have been making biofertilizers, substrates and compost, we have been cleaning the crops and working on foliar fertilization and special adaptations for soil revegetation and generation of nutritional resources for agroecological production.
“Banakale Pabi” is part of our Activity 6: Development of Productive Projects, where agriculture coexists with environmental protection. In the farm, communities bring their ancestral knowledge while learning new sustainable agroecological and silvopastoral practices; to reduce the pressure on the forest, boost the crops/conucos productivity, guarantee the food security of its indigenous peoples and create new business opportunities, in order to protect Matavén natural resources and improve their peoples well-being.
