Almost finished …
… is now also the training hall in Merangding. Unfortunately, the funding already promised by the government for the interior fittings and installations has not come. But with our combined efforts, a solution will be found. Things are going well in the greenhouse and in the fields and the compost toilet is also ready. Many thanks to the Schoeck Family Foundation, whose support ensures the operation of the model farm.

In front of the curtain …
… we would like to call on our farm supervisor Jaya Laxmi Magar 🙂 today. Since she has been running the farm, we can see what has already been learned and what is possible. The pre-breeding in the greenhouse has worked out great and already in June she can proudly sell the harvest. External customers still have little chance, the vegetables go to friends of the farm who are only too happy to buy them. We thank Jaya Laxmi Magar for her great work. Many thanks also to all those who have supported the establishment of the model farm in Chyangsar over the past years and ensure its ongoing operation.…

Insects …
… as beneficial insects or pests are also part of the Farmers Field School. The women exchange their experiences, learn interesting facts about them and finally “experimental plants” with the insects in the “net” are also planted for study purposes. We are already very curious to see what can be observed here. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for making this form of learning possible for the women.
-
Putting into practice …
… the women are allowed to put everything they learn at the Farmers Field School into practice in their private greenhouses and fields. Our experts accompany them and discuss specific challenges. Twice a month they are on the road to visit other women. The Farmers Field School in the four villages was made possible by the support of the Schöck Family Foundation. Many thanks for this.

Farmers field school ..
…is the name of the in-depth programme with which we accompany a selected group of women – here in Chyangsar – throughout the year, in addition to the certification. The aim is to consolidate what has been learnt and to work directly on ongoing challenges. We are proud of the women who give their best to learn a lot. Many thanks to the Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting this programme in all four villages.

Eagerly …
… they train for the next round of certification. First there is theory – men are also starting to take an interest, then everything is practised under the strict supervision of the experts. Of course, there is always fun where many women work together and the children are also present. We are already looking forward to rich yields and new varieties. Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for their great support.

Final…
… also at the training hall in Kunikhop. The electrical installation is finished and the furniture from the local carpenters can also be used. For the women, it is a place to learn, celebrate, relax or just to talk about everyday things. We thank the Schoeck Family Foundation for their support.

Great …
.. what the women in Kunikhop have achieved in less than 2 years. The founding of a cooperative was followed by a long search for a suitable area and its purchase. With a lot of effort, the area was prepared, a greenhouse and a training hall were built, and sample fields with new vegetables were planted. The women can be very proud of themselves. Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for the financial support of this project.

Sustainable …
… means for us to make the women as independent as possible in the future. Thus, the training on seed production in Chyangsar is also an essential part. All findings are also accurately recorded in order to learn from them. More and more new vegetables can be grown and distributed. We are proud of the women who are always ready to learn new things. Many thanks to Fair Styria for setting up the model farm and to Schoeck Family Foundation for the ongoing support of the trainings.

Great …
… the women in Kunikhop have implemented the first trainings on organic vegetable cultivation. For the first time, they were able to harvest enough vegetables for the whole family and more in their greenhouses. Not least the organic herbal fertiliser helped them to achieve this. Many thanks to the Schoeck Family Foundation, without whose support none of this would be possible.
