LOW FERTILITY IN THE SOIL.

The Community of Bukalama for a long time used conventional farming which unfortunately does a lot of the opposite. Land is ploughed up disrupting the soil structures and balance, compost is substituted with artificial fertilizers mulching is negligible. As the soil structure changes, fertility drops. Soil began to reduce in volume too as organic matter is not replaced but removed with each successive harvest.
