ORGANIC FARMING in GUINEA, WEST-AFRICA needs support.

Through the People to People Friendship Network, we have contact with an association
CePATA of rural groups in Guinea-Conakry, West Africa, who are farming without using
chemicals.
They want to develop this into certified organic agriculture, and need support for consulting,
education and inspection, the latter being somewhat of a problem for smallscale farmers in
third world countries, as it is quite costly to get inspection and certification. A major problem
is that there is no african based inspection/certification body.
