Farmers encouraged to blend traditional and modern farming systems

A Lecturer at the University of Development Studies, Professor Saa Dittoh has emphasized the need for farmers to blend the traditional system of agriculture with the modern and improved methods of farming to help preserve the available nutrients in the soil. 

He argued that the frequent use of agro-chemicals and inorganic manure on crops often destroys the smaller living organisms in the soil and cause the soil to lose its fertility. 

Prof Dittoh was speaking at the launch of the Nabdam Participatory Video Dissemination Workshop in Bolgatanga.
