December was an exciting month for the project...there was growth in the areas of non-traditional methods of farming, as well as legitimate benefits of organic fertilizers showing their colours.
From the report of our Agronomist:
On December 4th, as part of the Otra Fe team's interest in searching out non traditional activities or options in the area of production and sale of foods, we went to visit a tilapia breeding project on the outskirts of the village of San Pablo Tacachinco, about 35 kms south west of the city of Santa Ana. There we had the opportunity to learn in great detail all the different aspects of raising and comercializing tilapia. Our purpose is to broach this idea in communities that have a sufficient water resource the possibility of developing in the medium term a project that would give them the opportunity to better their quality of life. This was also a good opportunity for training for the team.
On December 12-19 y 26 meetings were held in Monte El Padre and Hacienda El Milagro in Texistepeque, as well as in Hacienda San Diego (near Metapan) with the goal of explaining in detail the benefits obtained in the soil by using organic fertilizers consistently. In 2013 it is proposed to put this to the test in a more extensive program. (I love this update because it's the first for sure we've seen about using organic fertilizers.)
