The lectures were accompanied by a lively question and answer session at the end of each presentation.

Further one-week trainings have been postponed due to the coraonavirus crisis. We will inform you here as soon as there is more information available.

In February, preparations started on 10 demo fields in the Bandung region. After the contracts were signed with the farmers, our colleagues started taking soil samples to assess which field and which fruit or crop is best suited. Then plans were drawn up which exactly determine which inputs are used when and where. In our next update (April 2020) on this topic, we will be able to report on plantings and use of input means.

PLANTING ON TEST FIELDS – LEMBANG, MARCH-APRIL 2020

After the preparations on the test fields were completed, the planting started. 10 crops on 10 demoplots:

Potatoes - Cauliflowers - Beef tomatoes - Baby beans - Tomatoes - Shallots - Chili - Cabbage - Spinach - Paprika (peppers)

One half of the test fields is cultivated conventionally and the other half according to the rules of integrated pest control. Extensive documentation accompanies the use of inputs, the growth of the plants and ultimately the yield of the harvests.

TRAINING OF THE TRAINER – LEMBANG, JULY 2020

Due to the corona pandemic, it has not been possible to enter Indonesia since the end of March. Our training of the trainer 2, planned for the end of March, was therefore canceled. Until the end of June there were contact restrictions, which are now at least partially lifted and allowed us to hold the second training session via video conference.

The training took place from July 13th to July 18th., again in the training room of the agricultural high school SMK Pertanian Pembangunan Negeri. Our international chief agronomist Martin Nesensohn conducted the training from our office in Hamburg in a tried and tested manner. This, as before, in collaboration with our Indonesian chief agronomist Mr. Asmariady, who was on site in Lembang, Bandung - assisted by our colleague Nina Aulia Dhaulain.

After the basic training from Training 1, there was a short repetition before the topics of Training 1 were deepened. Particular attention was paid to the differences in conventional, integrated and organic crop cultivation. This also in preparation for training 3, which will consist of many practical elements.

MEETING WITH OUR TRAINER FOR CROP MONITORING AND DATA COLLECTION  – LEMBANG, AUGUST 2020

On August 12 and 13 a meeting took place in Lembang under the leadership of our local chief agronomist Mr. Asmariady. First of all, it was a matter of discussing the results of the first 3 demo fields, as some of our guidelines were not always followed. Here Mr. Asmariady showed what could have gone better. After that was clarified, collected data from the other 7 test fields were discussed. The processing of the results is now ongoing and we believe that all reports will be available in September. The trainers were then given some more practical guidelines regarding organic farming.

In the second part of the meeting, it was discussed how the training courses for the 1000 farmers can be prepared. This includes modules such as training in theory and practice as well as the monitoring and assessment of the test fields - especially with regard to the use of our organic inputs.
