In our farming practice, we work purposely with local skills and existing knowledge. Rebuilding local cultural experiences in food self-provisioning, including sharing, exchange and market sales. We aim to work with mixed livestock – for food, building soil fertility through waste, enhancing biodiversity and thereby supporting rural livelihoods. ETFE has a strong interest in promoting trees for the fruit, blossom, soil fertility, shade and supporting wildlife habitats. Beehives have been acquired for local honey, fruit pollination, insect diversity as well as for contributing to health and nutrition. Village chickens are raised for many reasons including homestead pest-control, food and for free-range eggs. We are trialling with passion fruit, guava, tamarind, citrus, banana, moringa and mango for organic juice, daily nutrition and vitamins. We contribute to the local area promotions of crops that are responding to the difficulties of climate change – Bambara bean (Esuk, Vigna subterranea), cassava (Emuongo, Manihot esculenta), millet (Kal, Panicum italicum, Eleusine coracana) sorghum (Bel, Sorghum bicolor), lentils (Aligidi, Okwedu, Apena, Vicia lens, Vigna radiata), beans (Muranga Phaseolus vulgaris), moringa (Moringa oleifera), turmeric (Abisali lango, Curcuma longa), avocado (Persea americana), soursop (Mutomboko Annona muricata) and many more.
