Access Agriculture video ‘Enriching soils with a mixed green manure’ has been showcased on the Family Farming Knowledge Platform (FFKP) home page https://www.fao.org/family-farming/detail/en/c/1676694/. The video shows how diverse crops and tree leaves provide different levels of micro and macro-nutrients when incorporated into the soil. This adds organic matter, boosts beneficial soil micro-organisms and enhances soil fertility.
FFKP is a web-based knowledge platform that collects and shares information and knowledge on key topics related to family farming across the world. It includes resources such as case studies, publications, multimedia materials and policies, among others. The platform serves as a worldwide knowledge reference on family farming to assist policy-makers and other stakeholders.
As Access Agriculture is committed to supporting family farmers, South-South learning and farmer-to-farmer approach, it was invited by FFKP in 2020 to become a member of the FFKP network. Since then, Access Agriculture has been actively sharing information on its innovations, new videos, best practices relating to family farming and agroecology through FFKP. The FFKP Coordinator has recently cited Access Agriculture as an example of agricultural best practices' databases on FFKP platform.
