Get to know more about kuwait organic farms

مرحبا بك في مزارع الكويت العضوية

Agriculture plays a major role in the development of any country. It provides food security, jobs, income, and even raw materials. Kuwait Organic Farms was founded in 2023 with the idea of promoting sustainable agricultural practices in Kuwait. Kuwait is an arid desert climate with extreme conditions, which comes with its own unique set of challenges for any agricultural activity. Our goal at Kuwait Organic Farms is to provide farmers and gardeners with solutions that will help them improve the quality and productivity of their farms/gardens alike.

ما نقوم به

Kuwait’s soils are sandy and have very little water-holding capacity, which exacerbates the existing water scarcity problem. With water being the limiting factor, the major question remains, what if we could reduce the water requirement needed to support crops? Theoretically, you could increase crop quality and productivity by solving this single problem alone. It is well documented that Organic material has great water-holding capacity. The question therefore becomes, how can we increase the organic matter in the soil efficiently and economically? We believe that the best way to do so is by recruiting nature to do the work for us. Plants absorb readily available Carbon Dioxide along with sunlight in a process known as photosynthesis and convert it into energy used for plant growth, providing us with organic matter and a consistent food source. Incorporating this material back into the soil would create a perpetual cycle of soil improvement and over time would produce highly productive land that requires less and less water and fertilizers to sustain. Couple that with the knowledge of accelerating these natural processes and you can cultivate farmland that is much more productive than your typical desert farm in a short amount of time and minimize operating costs by reducing water and fertilizer requirements.

كيف نقوم بذلك

Vermicomposting is our specialty. We feed partially composted organic waste to our compost worms, which in turn produce rich organic worm castings; A carbon source packed with nutrients and beneficial organisms, that also has excellent water-holding capacity. Vermicomposting is an enhanced and more advanced composting system that adds more value to the end product, which in turn speeds up the soil regeneration process.

لماذا نقوم بذلك

The benefits are two-fold. The first benefit is the enhancement of farming in general, whether that be the increase in production quality or quantity. The second benefit is environmental protection. By recycling organic matter instead of throwing it away, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills. We also contribute to reducing water consumption in a country where water is not a readily available resource. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.

في الختام

Vermicomposting and worm farming are great investments that will greatly improve your gardening experience. It is extremely simple to get started with worm farming and If done correctly you wont even know they exist. If you are interested in producing rich castings and want to contribute to the environment, we provide a variety of composting worms on our online store that can get you started on your gardening and composting journey.
