Agricultural Development
Africa has to undergo a transformative paradigm shift in its food security, integrating best practices such as Natural Farming, Biodiversity, Sustainability, Regenerative Practices, Waste-to-Wealth initiatives, Smart Precision Agriculture and Community Involvement.
DHA East Africa’s expertise in sustainable agricultural development plays a pivotal role in creating a new model for rural development that empowers youth and women for an economically vibrant community.
Organic Farm Planning & Implementation
Agriculture is a dance with nature; not a battle. Commercial agriculture has unsuccessfully attempted to control nature. The result has been increased global food insecurity, an unhealthy food chain, environmental degradation, and accelerated global warming. DHA-EA provides farm master planning based on appropriateness principles which are in harmony with nature rather than trying to control it for short-term profit. Integrated and regenerative agriculture is nature’s solution to food security. Nature uses incredibly complex patterns featuring circularity, synergy, collaboration, symbiosis, and supplementarity to create balanced, biodiverse-rich ecosystems. It is in this arena that economically sustainable agriculture thrives.
A flexible master plan is developed that is tested, monitored, readjusted, and then fully implemented. Areas of regenerative farming includes, but is not limited to, agroforestry, crop enterprises, livestock, aquaculture, snails, BSFL, and apiculture. We are also keen to ensure the projects we support have well trained personnel in Organic Agriculture.
Agricultural Training & Promotion
As stewards of the planet, our mission involves executing initiatives to enlighten the public about eco-friendly farming practices, biodiversity preservation, and sustainable lifestyles. Additionally, we provide comprehensive training and promotion for individuals eager to engage in agricultural pursuits. Learning innovative methods for conserving resources, reducing carbon footprints, and promoting biodiversity is part of the curriculum for training. Discovering best practices to improve crop yields, optimise water usage, and minimise the impact of pests and diseases.
The modernisation of agricultural systems is crucial, integrating appropriate technologies. We actively support farmers in embracing state-of-the-art technologies, enhancing overall farm productivity.
