In December, A Rocha Perú conducted two practical agroecology workshops for 15 farmers from the communities of Santa María, Pueblo Nuevo, Tecapa, San Pedro de Lloc, and San Demetrio. These sessions took place in a small forest patch where the “Bosque Teresiano” Ecoclub actively works, serving as a key space for conservation and learning.
The workshops were led by biologist César Romero, a specialist in agroecology, and focused on the production of bocashi compost and bioferments, essential techniques for enhancing agricultural productivity in a sustainable way. In addition to sharing technical knowledge, pre- and post-workshop surveys were conducted to assess the impact of learning among participants.
The results were encouraging: a significant increase in knowledge and the adoption of agroecological practices was observed. By providing farmers with tools for using organic fertilizers, we are not only promoting healthier and more resilient agriculture but also strengthening the commitment to dry forest conservation and soil regeneration.
