Vegetables, herbs

Alaskar grows his herbs and vegetables using environmentally friendly farming practices in the village of Turkan. He relies on natural compost and organic growing methods, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers whose production generates significant carbon emissions. By maintaining healthy soils and minimizing chemical inputs, his farm helps store carbon in the ground, protects local biodiversity, and supports a more sustainable agricultural system. These practices contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions while producing fresh, healthy food for the community. Alaskar says: “Healthy food begins with healthy soil. By using natural compost and reducing chemical inputs, we help the land remain fertile and productive for years to come. I believe that working with nature, rather than against it, is the key to growing food sustainably and protecting our environment.”
