FINAL DESIGN STUDY FOR THE AGRICULTURAL PROJECT: PRODUCTION, MANAGEMENT AND STORAGE OF EXOTIC FORAGE FOR THE TURURUMBA COMMUNITY (AYANGO AND RACETE)

General Description

The agricultural project focused on the production, handling, and storage of exotic forage for the Tururumba community, specifically in the towns of Ayango and Racete, has as its main objective to improve livestock feeding and, consequently, increase the productivity of small farmers in the region. Through an initial study, the most suitable varieties of exotic forage for local climate and soil conditions, as well as the nutritional needs of animals in the area, were identified. The final project design includes the implementation of a comprehensive system that covers everything from the selection and sowing of exotic forage species to their handling and storage. Training workshops were held for farmers on best agronomic practices, including cultivation techniques, pest and disease management, and forage conservation methods, such as silage and dehydration. The training was led by experts in agronomy and animal nutrition, ensuring that producers acquire practical and applicable knowledge. Additionally, demonstration plots were established where farmers could experiment with different varieties of forage and evaluate their performance. This not only facilitated the adoption of new techniques but also fostered research and knowledge sharing among community members. The farmers of Tururumba became aware of the necessary tools to improve the quality and quantity of available forage, thus contributing to the well-being of their animals and the sustainable development of the community.
