Supporting Polyhouse to the communities living in the White-bellied Heron landscape

Supporting Polyhouse to the communities living in the White-bellied Heron landscape

Organic farming practices are picking up among the communities and one step to encourage and motivate such practices is by providing polyhouse sets to the farmers. From the ongoing BMUV-IKI project, the RSPN team along with technical support from respective gewog agricultural extension officers has successfully distributed and installed 30 sets of polyhouses for the community groups living in the WBH landscape (Dagana, Tsirang, Trongsa, and Zhemgang districts). Polyhouses serve as a shield between nature and what you are growing. The greenhouse is an enclosed structure or environment where crops or saplings are grown. It protects crops from pests, diseases, and adverse climatic conditions which in turn allows the growing seasons to be extended and possibly improved.
