At the WECF Agriculture meeting on 22nd January 2008 composting and recycling of nutrients were identified as key technologies for organic and sustainable farming and an integral part of ecological sanitation. To promote, implement and spread composting as a suitable technology for sustainable farming written information material, brochures and leaflets, special training manuals, demonstrations will be needed.
Most of the information material on the practical application at farm level of composting technologies is not adapted to the local climatic conditions (i.e. hot summers and cold winters), nor are the ready-made devices as often displayed in leaflets available in the EECCA region. Furthermore, these published materials are usually only available in English, not in Russian or local languages.
Before starting to make compost a study is needed on the kind and amount of organic material available in different parts of the region.
WECF
will organize a workshop in October 2008 to develop in collaboration with
partner organizations in the Empowerment and Local Action program a written
information brochure (in English and Russian), a training manual and
demonstrations on all aspects of composting which are adapted to the local
conditions. The PROTOCOL for the workshop can be found here.
