This training set looks into the principles of organic farming and the legal requirements of certified organic farming. It is linked to the testimonies of farmers Cane Vella and Josef Farrugia who are both organic vegetable growers in Malta. In their testimonies they explain about their motivation for having converted to organic farming. Organic farming, by its nature, implies their use of typically several of the agro-ecological practices being promoted by Mara-Mediterra, such as for example, cover cropping, green manuring and mulching.
