๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฅฆ We would like to share our Article: โ€œProspects for Organic and Regenerative Agriculture in Georgia: Insights from Ecovillage Georgiaโ€ written by Anna Samwel, under the series initiated by The Heinrich Bรถll Foundation โ€“ South Caucasus Region.
๐Ÿšœ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ"Rural areas in Georgia suffer from high levels of poverty, declining biodiversity and are characterized by small farms with low productivity which are under pressure to industrialize and use increasing amounts of pesticides. Ecovillage Georgia is a living lab that explores how community-based, regenerative and organic agriculture provides a viable alternative to revive the countryside, regenerate soil and biodiversity and create fair and resilient economic models. Organic agriculture can support smallholder farming, is free from agro-chemicals and increases climate resilience."

๐Ÿ‘ปWhat do we actually do when we stop using pesticides?

๐Ÿ•ธAt Ecovillage Georgia, staying away from chemicals was an unquestioned approach. The harder part was learning to think and act differently;

๐Ÿ›Because pests aren't really the problem. The imbalance of the ecosystem is.

๐ŸชฑWe started feeding the soil, giving it natural time to digest and observe what it has to give life to.

๐Ÿฅ•We covered the vegetable garden beds with mulch - leaves, straw, grass, etc. It holds moisture, slows erosion, and quietly builds fertility over time.

๐ŸกWe are trying to grow in the permaculture way, in between our crops we plant wild trees, endemic species, pollinator plants, plants that can help soil to stay resilient.

๐ŸŒผWe mix crops. We plant marigolds among the vegetables.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพThat's regenerative farming, which builds up and every next season is more harmonious.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆWe try to invite our neighbours and wider community to join this path and share inherited knowledge between ourselves and future generations!
