Optimization of Land
Progression of a Forest Garden
Trees for the Future
Farmers will learn to adopt advanced Forest Garden planting and care, integrated pest management, and conservation techniques that optimize and ensure the long-term health, productivity, and profitability of their land.
-
Farmers are prepared for site visits
-
Technicians perform site visits monthly, and contents of the visit vary by which phase of the project the farmers are in
-
For example, Technicians:
-
check on tree planting and tree health
-
review training modules with farmers
-
check on crop progress
-
make sure farmers adhere to the approach (i.e. not using chemical fertilizers or pesticides, etc.)
-
make sure farmers have the tools to manage any problems that should arise (pest infestations, farm management)
-
-
Need to regularly check in on farmers to ensure that they have implemented their Forest Gardens and are practicing the skills they have learned
