Comprehensive Conservation Agriculture Programme Namibia. 2019 | GIZ

This video gives an introduction to Namibia's experiences with Conservation Agriculture (CA). lt shows small-scale farmers' experiences from Namibia's Northern Communal Areas as they try CA for the very first time during the 2016-17 cropping season. Conservation agriculture is a promising method for adapting agriculture to climate change. CA is based on three principles: no/minimum soil tillage, crop rotation using a variety of crops, and permanent soil cover with vegetation or plant residues. This makes it possible to increase soil fertility and improve water use efficiency. The activities are funded by the German government and the European Union, and are implemented by Namibia's Ministry of Agriculture, Water & Forestry, GlZ, FAO and others.

I must embrace and practice this.

[@brianevolved2849]

the fertiliser company has done a great job in convincing the farmers to depend on their products. use of fertiliser will deplete soil further

This content is nice. Thanks for sharing.

They mention 3 principles, but then they don't use them. The ripper is the primary tool used, but it does not follow any of the principles. It is also a furrower and not a ripper. Rippers are actually a single blade/hook that cuts through hard pan. They need to do intercropping, cover crops, tree windrows, and mulching to actually improve yields in the first year without added chemical fertilizer (cow mulch is a natural fertilizer)

Cow mulch? U mean cowdung..?

[@0r807]

Tree windrows? Kindly do explain that please?

[@0r807]

I have seen ca tools in other videos like a planter you can use to plant the seeds

[@tulifranz9336]

Namibia need modern farming. Given the stable political situation, Namibia can produce enough food for the 2,3 milj and there could be a surplus for export.

[@ntatemohlomi2884]

And what would you say is modern farming, honest question.

Im looking for 5ha to farm inyensively and i will make a massive success coz of my research about sustainable farming

[@beatriceoduor445]

Can i get a catalogue on this type of farming pls.

[@julesphilander4237]

I live in Namibia and I am struggling to find information on what crops work well. I want to plant a cover crop and then get some chickens to till it but I do not know which crop will work well.

How do I contact you guys I am in namibia and trying out some new farming techniques I would like you guys to visit me and see how far I have come and I also tried planting crops such as soya which was a bit disappointing due to dry spells, but I am very interested in your CA and hope you could come and educated my community too.

I'm sorry but a ripper is not consider conservation agriculture. It's okay to use it once where an extremely hard pan exists to own it up. But constantly using it defeats the purpose of building soil organic matter.

[@shupimurambidzi1386]

That's how it should be done so that noons goes to bed hungry
