Nepal
and
managed
by
Ecological
Services Centre
(www.ecoscentre.org.np). Ecological Services Centre (ECOSCENTRE) is a national non-governmental organization located in Bharatpur municipality, the district headquarters of Chitwan district. Since its establishment in 1994, ECOSCENTRE has been working to narrow the distance between economy and ecology through sustainable development on agriculture, environment and ventures. ECOSCENTRE has successfully completed
more than Fifteen years for national development through Natural Resource Management, Ecological and Organic Agriculture, Revival of Indigenous Knowledge, Bio-diversity Conservation and Indigenous Rights for socio-economic development of women, poor, marginal and disadvantaged people. In order to maintain and conserve agro-biodiversity, we have established a farm occupying 1 ha. in Gaighat, Tanahun district. There are around 20 households of mixed community in the neighbourhood of farm. The farm
has been acting as a resource centre and demonstration farm for organic agriculture and bio -diversity management. The farm is 18 Km far from Bharatpur Municipality where ECOSCENTRE is located and on the way to Kathmandu. The farm has preserved various species of cereals, pulses, seasonal vegetables, and hundreds of fruits, fodder as well as timber. It has also maintained the rich diversity of flowers, medicinal and aromatic
plants. Located in sloppy landscape and in the vicinity of Trishuli River, the pasture and grasslands have also further added the value of the farm. The farm is currently managed by one farmer family with his children. There are few cattles, goats and chickens with him. There are basic facilities to accommodate few guests up to 2-3. This capacity will be increased in near future up to 10-12. Regarding climate, the farm is situated in
subtropical region at foothill and in bank of the Trishuli River which is famous for rafting in Nepal. ECOSCENTRE has very comfortable working environment and friendly employees. Internet facility is available at the office. We need some volunteers having interest and skills on documentation and farm design to improve the quality and services of the resource centre and demonstration farm. Knowledge and interest on seasonal vegetables and herbal plants will be additional advantages.

Agriculture Principal engine of nation’s economy compared to its contribution to the Gross domestic product estimated at 42% in 2007, Togolese agricultural provides more than 20% of the export receipts and employ 75% of the active population. The principal products of revenue, in particular cotton, the cocoa, the coffee contribute to a total value of 9% on average to the agricultural GDP whereas the food products remain the main thing under sector of national agricultural economics and account for 69% of the agricultural GDP gross country. Turned towards subsistence farming, the products appreciably vary southernmost areas with the northern areas: yam in the prefecture of Tchaoudjo and the plates; millet in Kozah and Doufelgou; rice in
Zio and Ave, the maize on all extended from the national territory. With cultivable rich soils including nearly 3.4 million hectares corresponded to 60% of cultivate soils, 25% of the exploitations profit a support council while 89% are plowed with the small agricultural equipment and 10% with the harnessed culture. Hardly 16% receive manure while less than 3% of the food surfaces are sown with selected seeds. More than 75% of the farmers practice breeding. Although agriculture is the main activity of the Togolese population, several phenomena block its development: the low level framing of the producers, insufficiency of credit, the degradation of the natural resources and out datedness of the equipment and materials of research.; in that, we add the food crisis which touch Togolese since January 2008. “Nobody hadn’t imagined width of this crisis” declared Minister EWOVOR. Togo is confronted today with a major challenge: to fight against poverty and to increase the rural incomes of households. “To increase the productivity will allow the producers to gain more without increasing the prices on the markets” specifies the Minister. With this intention, the agricultural policy pursues three Objectives: • To ensure food self-sufficiency with an unceasingly increasing population • To produce in sufficient quantity for export •To accelerate industrialization Outline Crops products: cereals, tubers, leguminous plants and fruits. Industrial products: cotton, cocoa, coffee and oilseeds. Breeding and fishing
