For five years now…

…we have been working together with the 65 women of the cooperative in Kunikhop (Jaidu, Jyanging, Surke) on PGS (Participatory Guarantee System) certification for the cultivation of organic vegetables, Farmers’ Field Schools to deepen their knowledge, and income generation through sewing and vegetable sales. The model farm with a training hall has been set up and marketing opportunities have been explored together. The first 17 women have even been recertified this time.

Now the women are equipped to continue growing vegetables and generating income independently. A reason to celebrate.

Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the farm and to Fair Styria for the recertification.
