Historically, before the introduction of high-yielding rice varieties (HYV), the traditional rice varieties (TRV) were predominant in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam (MDV). The TRV-based farming system is environment-friendly and has been existing for hundreds of years—now, it has been proven to be sustainable under increasing climate change conditions. It is...

Éliminer la faim d’ici à 2030 fait partie des objectifs de développement durable fixés par l’ONU. Un défi de taille en Afrique subsaharienne, où un tiers des ménages se trouve toujours en situation d’insécurité alimentaire. Pour répondre à la demande de la population africaine en pleine expansion, la nécessité d’une augmentation importante...

Este documento elaborado en el marco del Proyecto “Caracterización de gestiones económicas de sistemas de producción agropecuarios de pequeña y mediana escala” (vigente desde enero del 2020) presenta estimaciones sobre comportamientos de resultados económicos de modelos productivos y tiene como propósito aportar información que favorezca la inclusión de productores, mejore...

Como todos los animales de granja, las gallinas tienen necesidades fisiológicas y de comportamiento inherentes a la especie que deben satisfacerse en todo momento para que los animales tengan bienestar. Por ello, a la hora de criar gallinas ponedoras hace falta cuidar diariamente una serie de requisitos relacionados con las instalaciones donde...

L’agriculture biologique est une alternative pour préserver la santé humaine, de pratiquer une agriculture durable et aussi protéger notre environnement. il existe des Bonnes pratiques agricoles très économiques en Agriculture biologique ces bonnes pratiques sont: le paillage, la rotation des cultures, l'association des cultures.

Organic farming aims to close nutrient cycles, maintain soil fertility, and robust and healthy plants and animals with resilient performance. Moreover, in organic farming, a lot of effective substances are banned, or their use is restricted, and treatments are only acceptable if their active substances are included in the positive...

Las chicharritas (también conocidas como “leaf-hoppers”) son insectos que pertenecen a la familia Cicadellidae, que comprende a nivel mundial unas 42000 especies (Paradell y Cavichioli, 2020). Son pequeños (2,5 a 3,5 mm) y fitófagos, lo que significa que se alimentan exclusivamente de plantas. Utilizan sus partes bucales para succionar los...

Le manioc est l’une des cultures vivrières, qui nourrit plus de 800 millions de personnes dans le monde par jour dont 500 millions en Afrique et donc plus de 70% de la consommation mondiale. Il permet de lutter contre la faim et la crise alimentaire en Afrique subsaharienne. Cette culture...

Grafting of tomatoes has the potential to increase tomato seed production under organic conditions. Grafting means to combine the positive characteristics of a rootstock (e.g., increased vigour, resistances to soil-borne diseases) with the positive characteristics (e.g., fruit quality, taste) of the upper part of the plant (scion). We compared the...

Here's a video that shows step by step how to grow cassava, the growing process and how to harvest it. 

A major obstacle in the development of organic and low-input farming in the UK is the problem of trade-offs in yield versus quality, particularly in cereals. For example, there is a substantial gap between the supply of home-grown organic milling wheat and demand, partially due to variability and shortfalls in...

Several pathogens are associated with sooty mold, which varies from season to season. Dark spots appear on the surface as a result of the damage. During storage the spots can increase in size. In this video, we show you the control strategies that are used in organic apple cultivation against...

FAO defines biosecurity as a strategic and integrated approach to analyzing and managing risks to human, animal and plant life and health, and associated environmental risks to the environment. Strengthening biosecurity is one of the key thematic components of the One Health priority programme area, which seeks to prevent and...

In addition to the guidelines, there are links to videos from Danish organic orchards. Rules and regulations regarding fertilizer and plant protection are subject to change, and recommendations in the guidelines should be ascertained within the rules before applying. The guidelines are targeted at organic orchard owners, but private gardeners...

Le taux de germination et la vigueur des graines affectent la façon dont une culture émerge et s’établit. Ils constituent un aspect crucial de la qualité des semences, car une mauvaise vigueur des semences se traduira par des semis plus sensibles au stress abiotique (par exemple le compactage du sol...

La demanda creciente de alimentos, así como las exigencias en calidad y las fuertes restricciones en el uso de productos fitosanitarios, se consolidan como algunos de los retos que afronta la agricultura y que, paralelamente, impulsan un mercado para los insumos de origen biológico (Ruales y Barriga, 2020). Al respecto,...

The germination rate and vigour of seeds affect how well a crop emerges and establishes. They are a crucial aspect of seed quality, as poor seed vigour will result in seedlings that are more sensitive to abiotic stress (for example soil compaction or drought) and biotic stress (pathogens, especially soil-borne...

Results of various studies in the UK suggest that there are several advantages to more complex mixtures, including: 1) Greater resilience to variable conditions caused by extreme weather such as drought and flooding; 2) A reduction in overall weed biomass and suppression of both early and late weeds; 3) Opportunities...
