Sustainable life and organic farming project in Agam, Indonesia

Description
Dear Workawayers,

Season is opening, our house is ready for staying and weather is warm enough finally!
This an integrated organic farming project that starts from the awareness of a group of young people about the importance of sustainable life. We are well aware that conventional agricultural systems have contributed a lot to the damage to the earth. The use of inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and intensive exploitation of land in the long term bring consequences in the form of environmental damage, ranging from soil, water, air and living things.
This way we consider nature present to meet our needs, today is the time we realize that we are part of nature and we are obliged to take care of it!
We are volunteers, including farmers, and local entrepreneurs who are part of the change agency that will safeguard the earth by spreading the spirit of this integrated organic agriculture. We already have our own organic garden located in Canduang, Koto Laweh, Agam and have synergized with several other organic farmers spread across West Sumatra.
