Agroecology, one of the healthiest ways to the food production

In the municipality of Yara, Agroecology techniques to protect the environment and increase food production are applied.

Undoubtedly, the Agroecology is one of the healthiest ways of obtaining food for the people.

In order to achieve such determination, the agro-ecological producer of the municipality of Yara, Alberto Reyero Matos, dedicates his workdays and efforts in the Octavo Congreso Cooperative.

¨All work carried out in our cooperative is aimed at productive development for the benefit of a sustainable ecological agriculture, making use of different alternatives with our own natural resources from our environment such as: the African sweet potato, the Antillean Maguey and repellent plants in pest species management in different types of crops¨, he explained.

This simple man from the country is proud of his work, which is already widespread in many cooperatives and farms in the territory.

¨Currently, this type of practices in different cooperatives are implemented, more than 90% of all farms are applying these bio- preparation alternatives, where there are economic results, he noted.

¨Because knowing the limitation that the country has blocked, the lack of products, we applied alternatives, using this series of natural resources such as: the use of Agave extract to control different type of leaf- chewing insects, including the Whiteflies and the Moth in different types of crops such as corn, rice, beans¨, he highlighted.

These are some of the products that, Alberto makes in his Municipal and Provincial Laboratory, reference for agriculture.

And, he recommends to those who still do not trust in agro-ecological products to reach the Octavo Congreso cooperative, where he awaits them with information and more than proven results from his varied Agroecological range.
