Bio-diversity

The project meets the goal of the GEF/SGP by combating land degradation caused by the overuse of chemical fertilizers in 3 pilot communes in Ba Vi District, which are located in the buffer zone of Ba Vi National Park. It promotes the application of organic fertilizers, including biofertilizer and compost, in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture development. The project transfers the simple technology for biofertiliser production, using local materials, such as peat and rice husk, and its application to local farmers, targeting ethnic people and women. The combination of biofertiliser and compost application prevents land degradation and improves soil fertility, resulting in increase of rice yield. This contributes to reducing community dependence on forest resources for their additional income.
