Isaac, a farmer from the village of Gomez Kparou (N\u2019dali), proves that farming can be different: better for the farmer and for the environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, like many of his peers, he sprayed his fields with chemical herbicides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Isaac<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The result? Depleted soils, struggling crops, and shrinking harvests year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With support from our agricultural experts and the innovative Farmer Field School (CEP) <\/strong>approach, Isaac discovered the power of agroecology. He no longer burns or poisons his land. Instead, he cuts unwanted weeds and leaves them to decompose naturally, enriching the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he plows into fertile ground, ready for new crops. During the growing season, he weeds manually with a hoe instead of using pesticides – protecting his own health, consumers\u2019 health, and biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge remains finding enough helping hands to scale up these labor-intensive practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Isaac is already an inspiring example<\/strong>: his story shows that farming can sustainably feed families while protecting nature and the environment for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n
