Switch to natural and organic farming
Proof
Here you can check the proof for the 514.50€ I wired to Juan Pablo for this project.

As many of you know, I was in Colombia in June 2023 working on Juan Pablo Lasso Argote's coffee farm where I met many of the producers.
Since I am super thankful for the amazing experience, I wanted to raise some funds for them! The funds will go to the organization of a workshop about organic farming by a Colombian expert. This workshop will show the farmers a way to transition over to organic farming as well as producing their own organic fertilizers made out of organic matter already present on their farms.
The benefits of organic farming are diverse. The farmers won't have to work with partly toxic chemicals, the soil and natural water in Génova will be less polluted and, done right, this kind of farming can lead to a bigger harvest in the long run.
Mister Jairo Restrepo is, according to Juan Pablo, a well-known Colombian expert who is a big inspiration and motivation for him. With the help of this workshop, Juan Pablo hopes to get more farmers to transition to organic farming. This is the way Juan Pablo is running his farm for some years now. On top of that, the workshop will tackle the importance of reforestation on the farms and creating a symbiotic harmony between coffee and other trees and plants.
Jairo Restrepo can be found on social media as “La Mierda de Vaca”, translated this means "Cow Shit". If you are interested to learn more about his work, you can check out his website here!
The workshop took place in February 2024 and with our donations (514.50 €) we helped finance it!
Thank you so much to everyone contributing!
