Princípios da Agroecologia

Agricultura sustentável tem que considerar aspectos socioeconômicos e culturais dos grupos sociais implicados. Não basta proteger e melhorar o solo ou a produtividade agrícola se não resulta em melhorias nas condições de vida das pessoas envolvidas. Portanto, agricultura sustentável é um conceito que implica aspectos políticos e ideológicos que tem a ver com o conceito de cidadania e libertação dos esquemas de dominação impostos por setores de nossa própria sociedade e por interesses econômicos de grandes grupos, de modo que não se pode abordar o tema reduzindo outra vez as questões técnicas.

I began gardening when I was 10 years old
, planting annual vegetables in our mother’s
kitchen garden.

 Then in 2010, in high school, I become more interested
 in general agriculture as a subject  dealing with
crop and animal production. I quickly became head of the
Food Department at my school.
At that time, just about everyone in our community had difficulty in
 farming because they had been using “modern” farming techniques –
 vast monocrop areas that, because of the terrible amount of exposed soil,
 required more water than the local aquifer and rain could provide (not to
 mention poor farming skills as the community was brought in line with
 agrocorp farming techniques).
The result was that my community became increasingly impoverished,
and many were hungry. However, during that time while I was head of
the Food Department at my school, I had been experimenting with alternative
ways to farm–what I now know is called “Permaculture”.
After high  school I partnered with five other people and taught them the skills
 and techniques I had learned from my experimentations. We applied them
 to their traditional small farms, and amazingly, those farms blossomed.
 Of course, I wanted to learn more techniques. I just knew that what I’d stumbled
 onto could solve my community’s poverty and hunger.
I then became associated with another great Permaculture organization,
 PermoAfrica Centre, and together we learned so much more.

My knowledge and experience grew by leaps and bounds, enough so
that I founded the K5 Village Project.
Currently, in addition to all the good word the K5 Village Project does in
 our community to help farmers learn new techniques, and support local
 orphans and widows, I continue to want to expand my knowledge
 of Permaculture.
To that end, I hope soon to attend the Permaculture Research
 Institute’s Laikipia Permaculture Centre, so that I can earn my
Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC). the PDC,s training school
 to acquire more skills and techniques. With that knowledge I will be
 better able to teach farmers and design farms in my community
 and throughout Kenya. I intend to teach our youth, as well, so they
 can aquire these “new” Permaculture methods and technologies.
Everywhere knowledge of Permaculture spreads, famine and poverty
 are reduced. This is my goal for my community.

BANIR AGROTÓXICOS.

Assine o Abaixo-Assinado virtual que pede o banimento dos agrotóxicos já proibidos em outros países do mundo e que circulam livremente no Brasil.

A Campanha tem o objetivo de alertar a população sobre os perigos dos agrotóxicos, pressionar governos e propor um modelo de agricultura saudável para todas e todos, baseado na agroecologia.

Assine já, pelo banimento dos banidos! Entre no link abaixo.
