Soils, Food and Healthy Communities (SFHC) conducted a practical training on Bokashi manure production for health personnel at the SFHC Farmer Research and Training Centre. The training aimed to strengthen participants’ understanding of sustainable agriculture and the important link between healthy soils, nutritious food and improved community health.
The hands-on session introduced participants to the principles of agroecology and demonstrated how bokashi manure can be produced using locally available materials. Health personnel learned each step of the process, from selecting ingredients and mixing the materials to fermentation, storage and proper application in crop production.
Speaking during the training, SFHC facilitators emphasized that healthy soils are the foundation of healthy communities. By promoting organic soil fertility practices such as Bokashi manure, communities can improve crop productivity, reduce dependence on expensive synthetic fertilizers and produce safe, nutritious food while protecting the environment. SFHC has long promoted farmer-to-farmer learning through its Research and Training Centre, where participants gain practical skills in agroecological farming.

The health personnel expressed appreciation for the practical nature of the training, noting that the knowledge gained will enable them to promote nutrition sensitive agriculture and encourage households to adopt environmentally friendly farming practices that contribute to better health outcomes.
The training also provided an opportunity for participants to tour demonstration plots at the centre, where they observed the benefits of organic soil management, crop diversification and other agroecological practices that enhance resilience to climate change and improve food security.
SFHC remains committed to building the capacity of farmers, extension workers and other stakeholders through practical, farmer-led learning. By equipping health personnel with knowledge of sustainable farming practices such as Bokashi manure production, the organization continues to strengthen collaboration between agriculture and health sectors in creating healthier soils, healthier food and healthier communities.
