Organic Agriculture – Opportunities & Importance, globally and in Namibia

Mr Eckhart Förtsch is a local organic farmer and chairperson of the Namibian Organic Association. In his presentation he illustrates how organic agriculture not only makes economic sense, but also enhances the environment and leads to better nutrition. For Namibia the challenges of climate change and drought, food and nutrition security for a growing population, as well as market constraints, are directly addressed by the real-world solutions that organic agriculture offers.
