Moringa, the Miracle Tree Workshop
with Edouard van Diem August 12th-13th 2017 at the Practical Permaculture Institute Zanzibar (in Kiswahili and English)
Moringa is one of the most miraculous gifts from Mama Earth. While being used for centuries by different societies, moringa’s multiple uses had recently been forgotten and the plant solely used as animal fodder – but this plant has so much more potential! Moringa offers a wide variety of important uses, as a nutritious addition to a scarce diet for poor families, to enhance soil quality, for creating shade and natural fencing, for oil production and as an additional source of income.
This course is addressed to individuals for their personal projects, and people working in the private or NGO sector, specifically in the fields of nutrition/health, agriculture, forests or nature restoration.
Course content
All teaching will be in Kiswahili and English!
We will learn about the entire process of working with moringa, from growing the seedlings to harvest, and a number of different processing and value adding possibilities. This is a chance for anyone to get an intense insight on this miracle plant and start growing it successfully!
We will specifically look at the following aspects:
-
Land choice and preparation
-
Seedlings and cuttings
-
Care and cultivation
-
Leaf and seed production
-
Harvest
-
Leaf processing / oil making
-
Drying, grinding, storage and packaging
-
Marketing
