The Njawara Agricultural Training Centre works with Action Aid International The Gambia to teach farmers better growing methods. They created the Agroecology Platform in Central River Region North to help local growers. The European Union pays for this project that teaches people how to make natural fertilizer. Seventeen farmers learn new skills at the Women Initiative Gambia Centre in Njau. The training shows farmers how to grow more food without harmful chemicals.
Alpha Sey from NATC said the partnership helps farmers make more money from their crops. The platform teaches growers how to protect their soil and raise animals better. Natural farming methods stop wind damage and make dirt richer for plants. Chemical fertilizers hurt the land but organic methods heal it over time. Farmers who use these techniques grow healthier food for their families.
Saikou Bah manages the project and thanked Europe for supporting organic farming. The program aims to make 54,750 tons of natural fertilizer each year. Three communities will produce 20,000 tons of animal waste fertilizer every month. People with disabilities join the training to learn farming skills. The project creates jobs and helps everyone participate in growing food.
