HEPA (Human Ecology Practical Area) Farmer Field School (FFS) is a pioneering training dedicated to strengthen indigenous youth. HEPA FFS lies at the heart of the 6 inter-thematic networks action of Mekong Community Network Action for Ecological Trading (MECO-ECOTRA).
Overuse of resources and the lack of a caring attitude towards Human-Nature relationships in many sensitive watershed ecosystems have been the major causes leading to land desertification problems, gradual erosion of social traditions, and the losses of ecological biodiversity.
On 21st March 2014, FFS-HEPA and FK Internship organized a practical workshop of making liquid compost
Materials mainly from nature included: Leaves (2kg), cattle manure (10 -15kg), forest top soil (2kg), “sugar, molasses or fruits” (2kg), and water (160 -180 lit). For the method of making liquid compost please see the power-point in Documents theme
Result of the training course: Students made 200 liters of liquid compost. After seven days it will be used for crops and continuous track will be kept of the growth of the crops to apply it widespread in FFS-HEPA.
