Promoting organic and sustainable farming in Togo
This projects promotes organic and sustainable farming in Togo by reusing all organic waste via a hybride system (methanization-anaerobic digestion of organic waste, to be used with a control system).
Overview of the project
This projects promotes organic and sustainable farming in Togo by reusing all organic waste via a hybride system (methanization-anaerobic digestion of organic waste, to be used with a control system).
Specific objective #1:
- Improving women and young people’s plant production by introducing composting (derived from the methanization of waste) on cultivated land and reduce the overuse of superficial fertilizers.
Specific objective #2:
Promoting the use of biogaz (derived from methanization of organic waste) and reduce as much as possible the use of fossil fuels (wood and wood charcoal)
Specific objective #3:
- Securing the production transformation, protection and sale of farmed produce and guarantee access for poor and rural consumer ;
- Developing a circular economy to boost jobs on a local level by creating little outlets or delivery services. Women could be in charge of sales in rural areas.
Specific objective #4:
- Sharing technical skills through youth trainings (girls and boys) on artisanal production techniques for creating biogaz.
This project resolves the following problems:
- Overuse of artificial fertilizers
- Deforestation leading the wood consumption
- Water management
News:
Soon, the organisation will be creating a “farm-school” for agro-ecology and bio-energy with an internet platform for socio-economic Empowerment of Youth. The farm-school will have a mini autonomous integrete system for collecting weather settinfs (temperature, wind direction, precipitations and air humidity) in order to enable trained youth farmers to plan out their farming activities.
This project has a very integral perspective: the agro-ecological transition ; bioenergy and targeting digital work on agroecology and bioenergy.
This projects promotes organic and sustainable farming in Togo by reusing all organic waste via a hybride system (methanization-anaerobic digestion of organic waste, to be used with a control system).
Networking, internationalisation
- Production of 6 m3 biogaz /day
- 3 composts installed and 1.5 tonnes of compost produced ;
- 2 new installations for organic pesticides,
- 25 beneficiaries of the site;
- 50 young people have been trained for artisanal production of biogaz, maintaining it, using it and promoting in the area;
- 17 women have completed trainings on selling produce of the site.
Biogaz is used for cooking and for the electrification of the site; compost and organic pesticides are produced there, young people can complete trainings on the technology behind artisanal biogaz, etc.
This project was financed thank to a call for contribution led by the French Embassy in Togo via the SCAC (Cultural action of the cooperation service).
