Great news!!!
Following the ALiSEA Regional Assembly Workshop, the ALiSEA Vietnam team paid a visit to Thanh Xuan commune, Soc Son district, Hanoi City, last week and distributed more seeds for the winter crop to farmers of the participatory guarantee system (PGS) group, under our member – PGS Vietnam.
We are overjoyed to be able to see with our own eyes the outcomes of the flowering and fruiting seed packets provided by ECHO ASIA. The associate organic farmer, Ms. Tho, gave us a tour of the garden with great enthusiasm and showed us “the Okra tree, which had already produced fruit. She excitedly shared that she had preserved the seeds to share with the other farmers in the group, and expressed how having old plant kinds kept her able to start a fresh harvest earlier when the weather was right rather than having to go seeking plants whose origin and quality she is unsure about. She also showed how the sunflower and bitter melon seeds she planted—which were given to her hy ALiSEA from ECHO Asia—grew well, produced a lot of fruits, and were particularly resilient to the elements and pests.”
Because of ALiSEA, ECHO, its funders, and its supportive team, agroecology transformation innovations have been supported not just in Vietnam but also globally.
