• One hundred cows, 200 pigs, 400 goats are distributed to cooperative members and after a certain<br />

moment every bodies on <strong>the</strong> village will receive an animal.<br />

• The fields <strong>of</strong> peasant will begin to produce more because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cow dung wich will be put into<br />

<strong>the</strong> soil to fertilize /<br />

cow dungs<br />

Discussion<br />

On <strong>the</strong> understanding <strong>of</strong> my work, I can explain that every chapter concerned <strong>the</strong> organic sector as<br />

follows:<br />

• Livestock keepers use traditional breeds depending on <strong>the</strong> conservation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir ecosystem.<br />

• We will add indigenous knowledge and scientific knowledge<br />

• Cows produce and o<strong>the</strong>r animals produce cow dung to fertilize <strong>the</strong> soil, crops such maize, will<br />

provide food to animals, trees associated will fertilize <strong>the</strong> soil by fixing nitrogen, <strong>the</strong>ir roots will<br />

protect soil against erosion.Their leaves will ei<strong>the</strong>r feed animal both fertlise <strong>the</strong> soil.<br />

Suggestion and recommendation to IFOAM<br />

To sustain <strong>the</strong> organic agricultural movement in DR Congo through APRODEA, because it will be<br />

avoid cutting trees on <strong>the</strong> forests which is <strong>the</strong> 2 nd in <strong>the</strong> world after Amazonie. To help smallholders<br />

to access to <strong>the</strong> natural lands as you know that <strong>the</strong> DR CONGO after Bresil is <strong>the</strong> second country in<br />

<strong>the</strong> word to have lands(130 000 000 cultivables lands).<br />
