POLFN : Solomon Islands strengthen agricultural resilience through vermicomposting
This week, farmers from Malaita, Guadalcanal, and Western Province gathered at the Zai Na Tina Organic Farm in Honiara to take part in a hands-on training on vermicomposting.
Guided by the Organic Pasifika team and the Pacific Organic Learning Farms Network (POLFN) KIwa project, participants learned how totransform organic waste, such as food scraps, into a natural and nutrient-rich fertilizer through the action of earthworms.
This simple yet effective practice helps to improve soil health and fertility, enhance biodiversity on farms and foster a more sustainable andclimate-resilient agriculture.
Beyond technical training, the project also promotes Nature-based Solutions (NbS) by integrating agroecology and agroforestry into local farming practices.
