The Future of South Africa’s Agriculture is

ORGANIC FARMING

Page 2: The Future of South Africa’s Agriculture is ORGANIC FARMING · organic farming . organic refuse + landfill = greenhouse gases this is a ... organic soil depletion negative residuals

Organic Refuse + Landfill = Greenhouse Gases

Page 3: The Future of South Africa’s Agriculture is ORGANIC FARMING · organic farming . organic refuse + landfill = greenhouse gases this is a ... organic soil depletion negative residuals

This is a natural resource:

Vegetable and Herb crops can be

saved from drought by amending

the soil with compost and top

dressing with Mulch

Is our food production secure?

Page 9: The Future of South Africa’s Agriculture is ORGANIC FARMING · organic farming . organic refuse + landfill = greenhouse gases this is a ... organic soil depletion negative residuals

The price of a 50kg bag of fertilizer averaged around R200.00 in 2005, In 2012, the cost of a 50kg bag of fertilizer is R900.00

How will the farmers survive?

LAN AND SYNTHETIC FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS ARE JUST NOT PRESENTING THE RESULTS FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT

NO LONG TERM EFFECTS

ORGANIC SOIL DEPLETION

NEGATIVE RESIDUALS

POSSIBLE GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION FROM PHOSPHATES

QUARTERLY APPLICATIONS REQUIRED (COSTLY)

OVERBEARING IRRIGATION REQUIREMENTS

Synthetic Fertilizers

Cause Leachate Poison

The Results of Organic Refuse Recycling: Organic Farming

(eliminate synthetic fertilizers)

THE BENEFITS OF AN ORGANIC PRODUCT AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS:

NO LEACHATES

BETTER RESULTS

COST EFFECTIVE

ELIMINATES 2-3 FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS PER YEAR

UNLIMITED SUPPLY

EASY TO MANUFACTURE

ENCOURAGES MICROBIAL ACTIVITY WHICH AERATES THE SOILS

EASY TO APPLY (10-15M3/ACRE)

Preparing your soil is the most important aspect of organic vegetable gardening.

Incorporate your compost into the first 30 cm of your planting area
