Celebrating Seeds- MELCA- Ethiopia

1bIn this video clip, MELCA and Bale celebrate the rehabilitation of Bale’s degraded lands and the renewed sustainability of seedlings and the environment for future generations. With MELCA’s help, Bale has been able to revitalize all 19 of their original seed varieties, which have been tremendously important because of the many agro-ecological conditions. Rather than using the provision of hybrid seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides to increase yield, MELCA and Bale have turned to more sustainable methods of soil and water conservation, using compost, planting trees, and providing legal protection to farmers for their own seeds to provide for a growing population. The farmers and the people of Bale have much to look forward to, for they have a bright future ahead of them. Click here to watch the video.
