What is organic agriculture or organic farming? By Miguelin

Organic farming is more than food without

chemicals the organic agriculture is a way of

life bather for producers and consumers

around the world.

Everything has a balance in the

environment but now usually human

transforms the all resources for

their benefit, but agriculture

traditional practices demonstrate

for yours effects that the balance

has been broken and the present

generation living with the consequences.

WHAT IS HAPPENED?

We live surrounded by fast food and the

problematic eating these products

producing

The organic agriculture comes to resume

old habits of production, to maintain a

balance between the environment and

humans and helps to good eating habits in

society.

Agro-Tourism by Jorge Jiménez

Agro-tourism is a special kind, because when you buy a tour its not

only for bedroom or food, you buy a experience. The tourist is a person

to view them growing, harvesting, and processing locally grown foods,

the farmers would provide a

home-stay opportunity and

education.

Also the tourist can find cows,

horses, bulls, sheep, goats,

ducks, pigs, and others farms

animals

The majority are family projects,

because they know a lot of farm

and want to earn money support their family.

Agro-tourism it’s a alternative for a healthy tourism and with this

practice the tourist help the community.

Ecotourism in Costa Rica

A practice for the conservation and

wise use of resources

Ecotourism seeks a minimal

impact on the environment, and

assists the protection of natural

areas and benefits to local

populations

Costa Rica is a small country in a territory with 51 100 square

kilometers, which has a variety of environments, such as beaches,

mountains, mangroves, and many more ...

One of the features that will draw

more attention to visitors can see the

large number of trees that produce a

green landscape, accompanied by the

sing of the birds and the generosity of

the Costa Ricans.

In our country there are many places

to practice ecotourism, and employers are aware of the impact on the

environment which may cause the tourism activity.

For that reason we use environmentally

friendly practices:

Recycling

Nature walks

Environmental education

Appropriate use of resources

Clean technologies

AND MANY MORE by Miguelin

everybody remember cows but why we

forget a goat? Well the principal

characteristic is the special taste of milk,

the cause of this taste is the

One reason to drink for goat milk can come

BIO DIGESTER:

Is bio digester in fashion? Yes, it is.

It is an economic way to save money and

electricity.

If you have cows, horses, pigs, sheep, you

can use the animal feces to produce

methane gas with a simple and economical

bag and wood or plastic wood structure.

In Costa Rica is common to find projects

that use the bio digester to ruse organic

waste

How to feed and bio digester?

When the bio digester is installed you need

to feed it every day, and you need to be

careful with the size of the bio digester.

Example:

A bio digester of 8 meters long and is feed with 50 kg of feces from cows, horses,

pigs, or sheep, dissolved in 150 liter of water.

The digester started to produce methane gas

in 30 days.

If you are interested in the bio digester you

can contact me at 88-84-30-62 or

organicfarm.com

Curiosity…

This type of digester produces 16 hours of methane gas per day.

You can use the liquid organic fertilizer, which is the product of the process

The bio digester in good condition does not smell bad.
