Unbelievable …
… what the girls and the team have done with the rented hostel in Sallerie in just a few days. The rooms are bright and clean, a perfect environment to learn well. Further adjustments will be discussed and planned together in autumn. Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting this important initiative.

Happy …
… the women in Kunikhop are also happy about the compost toilets. Especially in this village, it was very important to us to improve the sanitary conditions. In addition, agriculture is benefiting. We are looking forward to the great results. Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for the construction and continuous support of the model farm.

Documenting to learn ..
… is one of the principles of the Farmers Field School. During the training, the women record everything on the model farm in detail to see what leads to good results, what needs to be paid attention to, what does not work. The women, who can write well, write down quantities, times and which seeds were used. This intensive support is made possible by the support of the Schoeck Family Foundation

Healthy vegetables …
… are now also available in Merangding. Through the ongoing training (unfortunately still without furniture in the training hall), the women learn step by step what is necessary for this. The children are often there too and grow into the diversity of organic vegetable cultivation at an early age. Many thanks especially to Schoeck-Family-Foundation for making the operation of the model farm possible and to Fair Styria for setting it up in the last few years.

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.
