A forestvale farm in chintsa East london we are carrying out an initiative aimed at improving lives of rural folks especially those that goes for subsistance farming for a living. For many years chemical companies and petroleum based fertlizer manifactures had mislead hardworking rural africans in using their products which are in real sense not tools for massive food production and security as they claim.

My experience, my study and my extensive experimanation of Organic farming practice had given me sufficient enough guts to dismiss this input exstensive farming practice as the answer to rural food security. It occurs to me (as it can to any free thinker) that doing anything against nature's principals will never ever bring any good to the people on earth. Lets turn back and look at what our grand fathers used to do long before pestcides,herbicides and inorganic fertilizers were introduced in Africa. Its just common sesnse that putting so much ammonium,sulphiric,nitric compounds which are synthetic/manmade and can't biodegrade is the least that one must do in his field to get maximum yields. The earth is blessed with animals termed and world,grass,tree leaves,old brances and all that biomass you can think of, why not converting it to make a fertlizer that Adam and Eve used.Full of herbs,flowers and trees of different species and scent why not using them for repelling insects and pest as our grand fathers used to do.

[http:// FOREST VALE AGRO ECOLOGICAL PROJECT] is in full force behind this sustainable natural farming system which only need some perfection to suit morden day people's needs. We appeal to the world for funding and support to get this uphill initiative going..

list of iteresting activities -bat farming trial for fertlizer and pest control -sweet sorghum production for cummunity ethanol and beer production -[organic gardening] -effective no till crop production -Nguni cattle rearing for hides,manure,meat and ecosystem balancing -use of biotechnology- Waste Biodegestion - structuring of household biodegesters for mathane gas production,sanitory and organic fertilizer -conservational farming-hill cropping

this heavily subsidised massive chemical inputs mechanised farming system have no future. Together we can make achange!!
