“Together with my grandchildren, we work in the garden, and I have taught them the meaning of Ecological Organic Agriculture. For example, they now know that onions have a scent that chases pests from the garden.”- Nassozi Kezia

Soil is very important to our food systems. That's why we think it's only #Agroecology that can keep soil healthy and safe.
