About the project

Eco farming

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Since 2000 we have had volunteers around the world joining our summer programs which were designed around building sustainable vegetable farming facilities. Over the years we have learned that developing eco-friendly and sustainable farming facilities does require a lot of research on improving our farming methods, learning the best practices from local farmers on improving the crop quality and perseverance despite the setbacks which were imminent in harsh Mongolian continental climate, with long, frigid winters and short, warm summers. We are hoping to transform our eco-friendly vegetable farming facility into a sustainable organic farming training center which teaches the low income families how to grow healthy greens on their own. Organic fruits and vegetables are sparse and expensive in Mongolia which makes them unaffordable for many low income families. We are planning to donate any crops from our facilities to families in need in addition to providing them with the knowledge of how to grow their own crops.

💼 What the programme involves

The main work is helping at the eco farm through work such as removing the weeds in the field, working in the greenhouse, making a water canal for the farm, making compost, etc. Quite tiring but let's enjoy it.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Summer house and Mongolian traditional tents which is GER (traditional tent). Need to bring a sleeping bag! Cooked by volunteers with local staff.

📍 About the location
