Increase organic matter content
Adding organic fertilizer, and thereby increasing the organic matter content of the soil, boosts biological activity in the soil. As a result, the soil’s capacity to store nutrients and the structure of the soil. An improved soil structure benefits infiltration and retention of rainfall and runoff water. In short, the productivity of one’s farm will increase – also in longer periods of drought. As organic fertilizer, farmers can use compost that consists of straw pen manure with litter or household waste.
