Dominica Organic Agriculture Movement (DOAM),  to further its mission of supporting the growth of organic agriculture in Dominica, has been awarded grant funds to bring in a soil input expert with significant knowledge of and experience with tropical organic composting.  The person would be responsible for field and lab workshops with farmers and government extension officers such as:
 
 3-4 day multi-day intensive training workshop -  Topics would include, among others, field lab testing with simple equipment which farmers and facilities could use.  

 workshops for farmers in two/three locations around the island that target on-farm composting; highlighting a variety of methods including worm farming, dry and liquid tea barrel composting, etc.  


Media ties will allow some workshops to be live streamed to locations world-wide.

DOAM envisions the consultancy happening in August or September 2010 (although later dates are possible) and  lasting 10-12 days, including travel days.

Because of the stipulations of the granting organization, the consultant needs to be an American citizen.

For more information, contact Donna Klarin, DOAM Secretary, at inquiry AT doamdominica.org or call her via Skype (Donna Klarin) or at her VOIP (U.S. area code) 310-598-1718.
