They mention 3 principles, but then they don't use them. The ripper is the primary tool used, but it does not follow any of the principles. It is also a furrower and not a ripper. Rippers are actually a single blade/hook that cuts through hard pan. They need to do intercropping, cover crops, tree windrows, and mulching to actually improve yields in the first year without added chemical fertilizer (cow mulch is a natural fertilizer)
Namibia need modern farming. Given the stable political situation, Namibia can produce enough food for the 2,3 milj and there could be a surplus for export.
I live in Namibia and I am struggling to find information on what crops work well. I want to plant a cover crop and then get some chickens to till it but I do not know which crop will work well.

How do I contact you guys I am in namibia and trying out some new farming techniques I would like you guys to visit me and see how far I have come and I also tried planting crops such as soya which was a bit disappointing due to dry spells, but I am very interested in your CA and hope you could come and educated my community too.
I'm sorry but a ripper is not consider conservation agriculture. It's okay to use it once where an extremely hard pan exists to own it up. But constantly using it defeats the purpose of building soil organic matter.
the fertiliser company has done a great job in convincing the farmers to depend on their products.
use of fertiliser will deplete soil further
I must embrace and practice this.

Cow mulch? U mean cowdung..?
Tree windrows? Kindly do explain that please?
Calm down, if it's old land, been used for years, manure alone won't cut it, mulch is a must, don't make it sound optional
I have seen ca tools in other videos like a planter you can use to plant the seeds
This content is nice. Thanks for sharing.

Do you even know what a ripper is.? There's a ripper, a rider and plough. A ripper is perfect for conservation agric.
That's how it should be done so that noons goes to bed hungry
