Since 2022 we are building on ca. 30 hectars the plantation PermaGuinée. It will be a model-plantation of learning - in the two directions: we learn how to face the new challenges of climate change and we will share what we have learned: we will offer trainings to farmers from the area and beyond.
PermaGuinée is situated in the area of Kindia, in the Republic of Guinea. We aim to develop a learning center for farmers from the area and perhaps on day beyond, offering trainings.
The objective is a resilient agriculture, which is adapted to the new challenges posed by climate change - and this via simple but fine-tuned working technics and measures, which do not need external input. Thus it will be regenerative agriculture.
It is the manner by which soil quality will be improved, irrigation organised and, more generally, the way to arrange the habitat of plants and animals, which will allow to grow strong and resilient plants and animals.
This kind of ecological agriculture is inspired by the approach of permaculture. It integrates vegetable and fruit cultivation and animal husbandry.
For the moment, we have established four fields. We concentrate on one field for our experimentations, while we use the other three for production and the rotation of the cultures.
In the valley, we can cultivate only in some parts. On the slopes between the fields and the valley we plant the extensive part of our fruit trees.
At the right side is the part of the plantation, which we use as pasture for the cattle and sheep.
