Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Bo-ma Group of Companies will hold a workshop for Lesotho Association of Darts (LAD) and Plant One Tree (POT) with the aim to impart skills on manufacturing organic<\/p>\n

fertilizers, on October 4th at Phomolong High School, Sekamaneng. Bo-ma Group of Companies Director \u2018Mammope Matsipa told Informative Newspaper that the workshop is intended to change the stereotypical nature of youth and create<\/p>\n

awareness on potential business opportunities. \u201cYouth need to observe what the country needs the most, explore their talents, be creative and avoid getting caught in one lane.<\/p>\n

They ought to learn to overlook gender stereotypes when it comes to opportunities. The workshop is also going to inspire the right mind set \u2013 to consider working together in order to change the farming<\/p>\n

industry, hence the economic range,\u201d she enlightened. She revealed that she was intrigued by her former foreign colleagues, who could not eat any food produced in Lesotho, complaining that the soil here has toxic<\/p>\n

chemicals to the body. Matsipa then took the responsibility to learn on how the problem can be solved. \u201cI worked with great scientists and farmers, who told me<\/p>\n

that our soil is not worthy for crop farming. This frightened me. I took assignment to learn what could be done to bring back the naturally resourceful<\/p>\n

soil,\u201d she narrated. Therefore, Matsipa pursued a course in production of organic fertilizer in Ficksburg South Africa (SA), learned production of organic soil processing and how to remove chemicals<\/p>\n

in soil to make it useful. \u201cThis is where I learned that people have to stop using chemical fertilizer for food production, they are toxic for the body,\u201d she said, adding that chemical<\/p>\n

fertilizers causes diseases like cancer. \u201cCurrently, my primary initiative is to convert farming into 100% organic. The food we buy in the market place are produced with chemical fertilizers that are used to<\/p>\n

speed up the process for the benefit of the sellers but what the consumers get in those is poisonous,\u201d Matsipa informed. She stated that she worked hard to bring back Basotho\u2019s original organic farming which<\/p>\n

reward with long life expectancy. Matsipa showed that this project started in 2018, where she took a tour in the country, reaching most of the districts and teaching the community how to produce organic fertilizer for free.<\/p>\n
