Namibian Organic Association and the Namibia Nature Foundation have jointly developed a series of posters on organic farming that can be used as training materials by trainers or extension officers. Topics include crop management, water conservation, soil health, biochar production and building fences. These training materials are made to help farmers establish a successful and ecologically responsible farm, but even more to help trainers share their knowledge and experience with other farmers through relevant images and content.
Biochar: This poster series is a step-by-step guide to biochar production.
Preparation for making biochar
Fencing: This poster series highlights the aspects important to consider when building fences and gives an overview over fencing techniques and approaches.
How to construct fence
Water harvesting: This poster series gives an overview over different approaches to harvest water without establishing major and expensive infrastructure, but focuses instead on methods of storing it in the ground, where roots can reach the water, and avoiding evaporation or drainage beyond the root zone.

Rainfed alley cropping: This poster series introduces an agroforestry system applicable to Namibian farming conditions, highlighting the approach and benefits of such a system.
