Here is our experience with BIONICA and Grow your Soil:
For eleven years our organization’s, ‘Solar Project Foundation for Nicaraguan Women’ (Fundación Proyecto Solar para Mujeres Nicaragüense-FUPROSOMUNIC), main focus has been the use of solar energy with women in rural communities of Nicaragua, and principally the use of solar kitchens, solar dryers for fruits, and teas and water purification with the sun.
Since June 2014, we have expanded our project towards the production of healthy and environmentally friendly food. We purchased a farm near Catarina; the farm was named ‘Ecosolar Center of Nicaragua’ and will serve as a demonstration farm. Since July 2014 we had received technical support and follow up from the staff of BIONICA; and together we are implementing GROW BIOINTENSIVE farming. We also have received support in our soil analysis from Grow your Soil. The support from John Beeby has been very professional and with only 3 months we started observing improvements in our crops. We try to put in practice the BIONICA’s philosophy which tell us that the first step to obtain good results in the crops is to improve the soil improve, and we are trying to do that.
We are thankful for the support from Grow Your Soil and John Beeby.
