AFSA continued the work started in 2017 with more training courses on bio-fertiliser production and saw a growing demand and uptake of the technologies. Trainees have been energised to pass on the knowledge to others, and have recognised through practice and on-farm trials that this technology is a success, and presents a huge opportunity for commercialisation.

Why should farmers pay for imported chemicals that destroy their soils and pollute their environments when they can get better results at less cost while protecting and regenerating their lands. The enthusiasm that this ground breaking bio-fertiliser technology has awakened among training participants is a testament to its relevance and efficacy. It brings to life the mantra that agroecology is a science, a practice, and a social movement.
