Free agricultural counseling for Moldovan organic producers
Moldovan farmers will have the opportunity to benefit, between June 30 and July 14, from free consultancy in the application of green manures, as well as in crop rotation. To this end, two American experts will be visiting our country through the USAID Farmer-to-Farmer Volunteer Program.
According to CNFA Moldova, Bruce Williams is qualified as a professor-horticulturist with extensive experience in several related fields and will be in our country between June 30 and July 14. He will consult producers on the application of green manure. The expert provided similar assistance in 2020, and now the purpose of his mission is to contribute to the improvement of existing experience and the effective application of this relatively new practice for Moldovan farmers.
The second volunteer, Seth Urbanowitz, is qualified as an agronomist in the rural area and will be in our country between July 1-14. He will focus on the application of a pocket guide in crop rotation in organic farming, previously developed for Moldovan farmers, and will provide advice on the implementation of best practices in this field.
The assistance is intended primarily for organic producers members of the MOVCA Association, as well as the "Selection" Institute in Balti. Consultancy can also be provided individually, upon request, depending on the work schedule of the volunteers.
