HEPA (Human Ecology Practical Area) Farmer Field School (FFS) is a pioneering training dedicated to strengthen indigenous youth. HEPA FFS lies at the heart of the 6 inter-thematic networks action of Mekong Community Network Action for Ecological Trading (MECO-ECOTRA).
Overuse of resources and the lack of a caring attitude towards Human-Nature relationships in many sensitive watershed ecosystems have been the major causes leading to land desertification problems, gradual erosion of social traditions, and the losses of ecological biodiversity.
Harvest ginger – promise ginger snaps for Tet holiday in HEPA
02/04/2014
On 14th Jan 2014, FFS-HEPA harvested ginger which achieved a good yield. After six – seven months of being planted at eco-kitchen area and other eco-farms, 80kg gingers have been harvested. These gingers are going to be made into ginger snaps to serve during Tet holiday. This good healthy product can replace other type of candies. The rest of the ginger that hasn’t been harvested will be used for propagation and for cooking in daily life.
