Progreso with Microorganisms

17 December 2009,

At the facilities of the Cooperative La Divisora in Tingo Maria, Peru, more than one hundred smallholders from Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Uganda gathered together during three days in October at the First International Workshop of Experiences with Organic Fertilizers.

The meeting, organized by La Divisora and the Progreso Program, made it possible to exchange knowledge and understand more about the use of Efficient and Mountain Microorganisms in the elaboration of organic fertilizers. This technique is based on the regeneration of the soils by reproducing and incorporating the Microorganisms in solid (bokashi) and liquid fertilizers (bioles). These products nourish the soil and its plantations, thereby improving the quality of the fruits and increasing the productivity.

The Progreso Program works on the implementation of this technique with a dozen of smallholder organizations in Peru and Ecuador; and will start working on the promotion of the use of Microorganisms in Africa in 2010.
