Civicom Aid's Farmer-Managed Restoration Program empowers family farmers to practice regenerative grazing and cropping, aiming to restore pasturelands, croplands, and ecosystem. Our goal is to achieve sustainable food production for marginalized rural and arid family farmers.
Permaculture
Our approach is built on four core principles:
1. Minimum Soil Disturbance: Limit mechanical, chemical, and physical soil disturbance.
2. Permanent Soil Cover: Maintains soil health and fertility, while suppressing weeds.
3. Crop Rotation: Breaks pest and disease cycles, improving soil structure.
4. Crop Diversification: Increases resilience and supports ecosystem balance.
These principles improve soil health and fertility, reduce soil erosion and evaporation, suppress weeds, and break pest and disease cycles.
