Ten practical workshops train technicians and producers in the development of an innovative agroecological solution that promotes improvement of both soil health and livestock activity.
In an effort to promote agricultural sustainability and encourage environmentally friendly practices, ten technical training workshops focusing on the production of "Local or Native Solid Microorganisms" were successfully conducted. These workshops, organized by agroecology experts, brought together farmers, technicians, researchers, and enthusiasts committed to transitioning towards more sustainable agricultural practices.
"Solid Microorganisms" represent a revolutionary solution that holds the promise of transforming the approach to both fertilization, soil health, and livestock activity. These local microorganisms, comprised of a combination of beneficial bacteria and fungi adapted to specific agroecological conditions, offer a natural and effective alternative to enhance agricultural productivity.
Throughout the workshops, participants had the opportunity to learn about the science behind these "Solid Microorganisms" and the practical techniques for their production and application in the field. Agricultural Engineer Cesar Gramaglia (AER Villa Dolores, INTA Argentina), an agroecology expert, guided attendees through specific processes, from selecting microbial consortia to creating a solid mixture and strategically applying it to various productions, both animal and plant-based.
The enthusiasm and receptivity of the participants highlighted the growing interest in agricultural practices that are both productive and environmentally respectful. María López, a local farmer who participated in the workshops, shared, "These workshops have not only provided us with solid technical knowledge but have also strengthened our connection with the land and our understanding of how to work in harmony with nature."
The successful implementation of "Solid Microorganisms" has the potential to reduce dependence on artificial fertilizers and agrochemicals, improve soil, plant, and animal health, and produce healthier foods. Additionally, these advancements are expected to enhance the resilience of agricultural livestock systems in the face of environmental challenges linked to climate change.
The agroecological revolution is underway, and "Solid Microorganisms" are leading the way toward healthier and more sustainable agricultural systems. With ten successful workshops conducted throughout the year, the agricultural livestock community is growing in knowledge about agroecology and preparing to fully embrace its benefits.
