Albert Tori farmer on his farm in Sirarou in the commune of N’Dali<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Can you introduce yourself? And how did you get to know the Foundation?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Albert Tori. I am a farmer, and I live in Sirarou, near N’Dali. I got to know the Foundation in 2016. At that time, I attended some of their training on soybean farming with other villagers. Thanks to this training, our village now has one of the most successful soybean crops in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about the Foundation’s agronomists? Have they supported you since then?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I certainly do. Thanks to them, I did not limit myself to growing maize and soya. They taught me how to grow different crops. And since I have a large plot of land of about 20 hectares, they advised me to opt for integrated farming. And that’s precisely what I’m doing now: combining fruit and vegetable growing with animal husbandry. So now I have about 100 poultry (chickens, roosters, ducks, and guinea fowl), about 50 goats, sheep, and cattle. I have several fruit trees, and I even have about thirty beehives which have allowed me to sell honey in the village for three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how exactly did the agronomists support you?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They come here very regularly. They tell me how to take care of my animals and prevent them from getting sick. They also show me which plants I can use to feed them and fertilize the crops with their excrement.
With the support of the Foundation’s agronomists, I try to move as far as possible towards agroecology: working in an environmentally friendly way while obtaining the best potential yield at the lowest possible cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And have you ever noticed a difference in income?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I have much fewer financial problems now. With the proceeds from the sale of eggs, roosters, and guinea fowl, I can cover daily expenses and school fees. And when someone is sick, I sell a goat or a sheep or maize to cover the doctors and hospital fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what are your plans for the future?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will undoubtedly continue with integrated farming. My village colleagues now come regularly to me for advice. I have one of the most profitable farms in the village now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how can the Foundation support you further?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have already received a lot of support from the Foundation, but a big problem for me is the lack of water. I have drilled a well, but during the dry season, there is no water. We have to walk four kilometers with 25-liter bottles to buy water.
I want to do more training, for example, in rabbit breeding. At the moment I don’t have the skills for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the moment, I am managing with my means and the advice of the Hubi & Vinciane Foundation, but I remain open to any other support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
