The ecological education project<\/span><\/a>, part of Navdanya International’s Terrae Vivae programme, guides students at the Bracciano Agrarian Institute through hands-on and theoretical training in agroecology. Among the many soil-focused activities, one area of particular focus has been the role of microorganisms.<\/p>\n

Students took part in preparing a microbiological biofertilizer called Teku Cana, a concentrate of local microorganisms used to regenerate the soil’s microbial biodiversity.<\/p>\n

The activity involved gathering forest litter from natural ecosystems to work with microorganisms already adapted to the local environment, selecting the most suitable organic material, and preparing the mixture using bran, molasses and water to understand the biological fermentation processes behind microbial multiplication.<\/p>\n
