Organic Farming Innitiatives Promote Moringa

In a new program, “Trees for the Future” an International Ecology Protection Association, farmers have started an initiative to start to raise agricultural production in the Volta Region through organic farming rather than the use of fertilizers. Mr. Lorvans Owusu Takyi who holds the titles of Country Coordinator- Ghana, and Trees for the Future claimed that under this organic compose system, farmers would intersperse crops with trees whose decomposing leaves provide the vital organic matters such as nitrogen needed for soil sustenance. From this richly organic soil, Takyi plans to grow Moringa, Lucina and Cassia trees to provide nutrition and stability in the local markets. The initiative has high hopes to make a significant difference in the region and in time is poised to make a big impact on agricultural production.
