Empowering farmers towards a sustainable agriculture future. ⭐

from the community successfully participated in a field demonstration activity led by the IITA BBEST Project in partnership with the World Vegetable Center and BNARI-GAEC.

During the session, farmers were sensitized on the technology and how it is transforming the agriculture landscape.

They visited the BSF production facility and witnessed the production of the BSF larvae, used in 🐖 🐟 animal production and the frass used in 🍅 🧅 🌶️ vegetable production.

They were sensitized on the application and the effects of the BSF frass on vegetables and collectively applied it and other fertilizers on the field.

Farmers will be involved in the next stages of the field demonstration namely the vegetative and the maturity stages to witness the performance of the BSF frass on the selected vegetables: tomatoes, okra and Amaranth.

We appreciate the presence of the District Director of Agriculture at the district office in Nsawam, Esther Comey, and two Agricultural Extension Agents who grace the session.
