In all the areas in which it operates, Louvain Coopération supports men and women farmers. The general aim is to improve living conditions for families, by working to diversify and increase harvests and related income, but also to structure cooperatives or sectors.
To achieve this, we rely on the co-creation and exchange of knowledge, through model farmers or farmer field schools and training courses dedicated to sustainable farming techniques with an agro-ecological approach. Composts, plant improvers, erosion control, crop rotations and combinations, agroforestry... all these techniques enable farmers to improve their yields and diversify their food supply, while preserving the land that sustains them. By producing their own seeds and organic fertilisers, they save a lot of money and gain greater autonomy.
