NATURATA & SOS Faim: „help for South-Kivu“ – sustainable agriculture instead of poverty and dependency
On the 30 th of November, a new round of our NATURATA solidary action begins. And again, we ask you: please help us to help others! Please donate your NATURATA-stickers! We double the amount and transfer the donations via SOS Faim to South-Kivu.
Together with SOS Faim we support the population of the Congolese privince South-Kivu with their fight against hunger, poverty and dependency. To Sustain peace and to guarantee food security in the region, the revical of the agriculture is essential. Approximately 70% of all families in South-Kivu live from agriculture.
The challenges are big: there is a lack in tools, structure and knowledge in how to make damaged soil fruitful again and cultivate it in a sustainable way.
What we demand:
The NATURATA organic stores and farms belong to the Luxembourgish organic farmers. In 1989, they formes the BIOG association and procduce cooperatively ever since. Out of conviction, we demand:
- Sustainable production in the family business
- Establishment of farming cooperatives
- Sensitisation of ressource preventing methods
- Education and support through local consultants on site
