\u201cI\u2019m pleased to announce that 300 of organic bags of fertilizers each weighing 50kg have been allocated to four wards within our jurisdiction,\u201d said the chairperson of the Agriculture Committee Kebba Touray.<\/p>\n

The Chairperson said they are committed to providing innovative solutions to enhance the livelihood of their gardeners and farmers, \u201cthe eco soil organic fertilizer initiative represents a holistic approach to sustainable agriculture promoting soil health via diversity and environmental contributions\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy harnessing the power of organic materials and environmentally friendly practices, we seek to address the challenges faced by our local agricultural community while fostering resilient and adaptability in the phase of climate change,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

According to him, the initiative aligns with the principles of section 67 of the local government act which mandates the provision of agriculture to their communities, \u201cit is with duty and privilege to support our gardener and farmers in their endeavors\u201d.<\/p>\n

Musa Camara, one of the beneficiaries of the fertilizers said they are really glad to witness this day, \u201calthough we never expected this but we are grateful for it\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to encourage the youth to take agriculture seriously because some of their parents paid their school fees with the money made from agricultural practices so let them get close to their parents and help them work at the farm, these fertilizers are here to help us\u201d<\/p>\n

He, however, stressed some of the challenges they are facing, \u201c some of the problems we are facing is lack of storage facilities, we don\u2019t have a place to store our goods and also need supportive gears, we really need this especially in the raining season to prevent certain injuries\u201d.<\/p>\n
