@SimamoraDupito I'm glad if in any way what I share about my experience, no doubt coming from a tiny piece of land, is useful to my smallholder colleages & sustainable palm oil champions!
@SimamoraDupito@HiiRobert@sisca_gd As to becoming a resource person, I'm glad being one in general as in current mode, sharing experience on Twitter, etc.! Other than that, I guess I need to understand what that entails!
@Laurentit@SimamoraDupito For me, the enabler for intercropping is the adoption of the double row avenue planting system which incorporates broad avenues for crop, livestock & other facilities integration.
@SimamoraDupito It would be great if more smallholders practise such intercropping & livestock integration on their farms. If they already practiced polyculture, then they could organise it in a more systematic way.
The #compost I make on the farm is used back on the farm ... and also sold in the community. Here I stand by a customer's pickup truck already loaded up with packed compost.
@togarino They probably don't understand that if part of the certified sustainable palm oil is banned, the corresponding amount of "Planet" element that had co-existed with, or resulted from, the oil palms will disappear.
@hongwaionn And I heard that oil palm fronds (tons of them on farms & plantations) can be fed into a gasifier to produce heat energy & biochar.
@sisca_gd If in the past & until now it has been difficult to get smallholders onboard sustainable palm oil, soon might as well leave them to farm the way they had been doing for ages.
On my #oilpalmfarm, #organicwastes such as weeds, grass cuttings, sheep dung & post-harvest inter-crop materials are utilised for compost making, it being an aspect of #wastemanagement.
