Satisfarm: Farms to Learn and Grow

Local need

Many plots owned by families, villages or institutions are unproductive or degraded. Owners need a design that suits the soil and water, while neighbouring farmers want to see a working example before trying it on their own land.

Activities

• Diagnosis of soil, water, vegetation, access and manager capacity.
• Layered farm design: perennials, food crops, spices, habitat, and livestock or fish where carrying capacity allows.
• Nursery, planting and maintenance with the farm manager.
• Open days, short apprenticeships and visits from farmers in nearby villages.
• Records of yield, costs and labour to judge feasibility.
