Organic Agriculture

Farming at Shamba Kilole Eco Lodge
  • Organic agriculture is a holistic production management system which enhances agro-ecosystem health.
  • Utilizing both traditional and scientific knowledge. Organic agricultural systems rely on ecosystem management rather than external agricultural inputs. Organic agriculture prohibits the use of synthetic chemicals and genetically modified organisms and builds on the management skills of the farmer and includes social standards.
  • Organic agriculture is cheap and sustainable production method especially for East African farmers’ majority. Organic Farmers produce organic products without causing health or environment damage.

Semi-dry phytodepuration

This is a Semi-Dry Phytodepuration Management System maintained with an endemic plant: using a reed (Phragmites Australis)
in Dry Phytodepuration Systems the filtration bed slope should be rather low at the exit of wastewater stream and the filter bed

  • Semi-Dry Phytodepuration Management System maintained with an endemic plant: using a reed (Phragmites Australis).
  • In Dry Phytodepuration Systems the filtration bed slope should be rather low at the exit of wastewater stream and the filter bed should not be too distant, allowing the plants roots to reach the wastewater.
  • The basin bottom has to be totally impermeabilized. The basin banks have a little slope to facilitate maintenance operations and plants growth and to reduce erosion.
  • Learning from previous experiences of similar initiatives (already experimented with the dry Phytodepuration system built by the Residential House); the result of the depuration is of 98%.
