AGRO-ECONOMY Lesson 2.2 DESIGN - Multi-cropping

 

Multiple cropping is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same space during a single growing season.  It is a form of polyculture.  It can take the form of double-cropping, in which a second crop is planted after the first has been harvested, or relay cropping, in which the second crop is started amidst the first crop before it has been harvested.

A related practice, companion planting, is sometimes used in gardening and intensive cultivation of vegetables and fruits.  Multiple cropping is found in many agricultural traditions.  In the Garhwal Himalaya of India, a practice called baranaja involves sowing twelve or more crops on the same plot, including various types of beans, grams, and millets, and harvesting them at different times.

KOZI YA MSITU WA CHAKULA
KILIMO-UCHUMI Somo la 2.2 BUNIFU - Upandaji wa mazao mengi
 
Kupanda mazao mengi ni desturi ya kupanda mazao mawili au zaidi katika nafasi moja wakati wa msimu mmoja wa kilimo. Ni aina ya polyculture. Inaweza kuchukua namna ya kupanda mara mbili, ambapo zao la pili hupandwa baada ya kuvuna la kwanza, au kupanda kwa njia ya relay, ambapo mazao ya pili huanzishwa katikati ya mazao ya kwanza kabla ya kuvunwa.
Mazoezi yanayohusiana, upandaji wa pamoja, wakati mwingine hutumiwa katika bustani na kilimo kikubwa cha mboga na matunda. Kupanda mazao mengi hupatikana katika mila nyingi za kilimo. Katika Garhwal Himalaya ya India, mazoezi yanayoitwa baranaja inahusisha kupanda mazao kumi na mbili au zaidi kwenye shamba moja, ikiwa ni pamoja na aina mbalimbali za maharagwe, gramu, na mtama, na kuvuna kwa nyakati tofauti.

Lesson 1.0 INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE

  FOOD FOREST COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY Lesson 1.0  INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE As the world celebrates International Day of Forests on 21st March, one avenue to explore is the role that food forests can play in providing a rich source of nutrition for humans while enhancing biodiversity and nourishing the  soil . Forests are some of the most  productive , biodiverse and self-sustaining ecosystems on earth. Yet, deforestation, an indicator measured by the  Food Sustainability Index , destroys these rich centres of life at a rate of  10 m hectares per year . Driven by demand for monoculture crops such as  soya  (primarily for livestock feed) and  palm oil  (a widely used ingredient in food-processing and cosmetics), deforestation presents a major problem for forest ecosystems. But what if forests and food production could be reconciled in a novel way? Food forests may be the answer. Human-designed  food forests  differ from conventional forests, which do not provide

LESSON 1.1 INTRODUCING - Strategy for sustainable living.

Image
  FOOD FOREST COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY LESSON 1.1  INTRODUCING - S trategy for sustainable living.   Food Forest gardening is a central practice of Permaculture and is an ecological design strategy for sustainable living. Eco systems such as mature rain forests have a huge number of relationships between its component parts. Trees , understory , ground cover , soil , fungi , insects and animals are an integral part of this system.  Plants grow at different heights and this allows a diverse community of life to grow in a relatively small space.  Plants come into leaf and fruit at different times of year.   Edible forest gardens can mimic the complexity of a mature ecosystem and can offer inspiring and practical information of perennial polycultures and of multipurpose plants in small-scale settings. We can apply the principles of a natural ecology to the design of home gardens that mimic forest ecosystems to grow our food, fuel, fodder, fertiliser, ‘farmaceuticals,’ and f
