AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

JDPCI Abuja’s continued intervention in agricultural development, with a focus on natural organic fertilizers like urine, not only serves as a practical solution to agricultural challenges but also reflects the organization’s commitment to promoting holistic, environmentally responsible, and socially just development.

Continuing JDPCI Abuja’s intervention in agricultural development, particularly in the realm of natural organic fertilizer like urine, is crucial for several reasons:

– Organic fertilizers like urine offer sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers, which can degrade soil quality and harm ecosystems over time. By promoting natural fertilizers, JDPCI Abuja contributes to sustainable agricultural practices that preserve soil fertility for future generations.

– Emphasizing natural fertilizers aligns with the Church’s teachings on environmental stewardship and care for creation. By advocating for organic farming methods, JDPCI Abuja supports environmentally friendly practices that minimize pollution, conserve water resources, and protect biodiversity.

– Organic farming reduces exposure to harmful chemicals for both farmers and consumers. By promoting the use of natural fertilizers, JDPCI Abuja helps to mitigate health risks associated with chemical fertilizers, such as pesticide residues in food and water contamination.

– Supporting agricultural development empowers local communities by enhancing food security, increasing income opportunities, and promoting self-reliance. By providing training and resources for organic farming practices, JDPCI Abuja has helped communities improve their livelihoods and reduce dependency on external inputs.

– Organic farming practices align with principles of social justice and ethical consumption. By prioritizing natural fertilizers derived from renewable sources like urine, JDPCI Abuja continue to promote fairness and equity in the distribution of resources, ensuring that marginalized farmers have access to sustainable farming methods.
