Organic Agriculture
This new system of agricultural production brings many economic benefits as creating jobs or increasing the income of farmers through the reduction of external economic dependence.
In addition, organic farming helps the environment by improving the fertility of agricultural land and the efficient use of energy use.
This new system produces healthy food, more nutritious and tasty and also favors the retention of water without contaminating the aquifers.
"Farming's campaign includes a free advice service in order to accompany the farmers in the conversion process.
In addition, there will be technical seminars and training activities on biodiversity, genetic resources and seed marketing and local markets for organic products, "said Jose Maria Parra.
