Namibian Organic Production Manual
For Livestock, Horticulture and Crops
Organic Agriculture is an acknowledged sustainable method using natural resources, and therefore the development of the Namibian Organic Production Manuals was commissioned and financed by the GIZ Support to Land Reform Programme, on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany and in close cooperation with the Namibian Organic Association (NOA).
NOA thanks german cooperation (Deutsche Zusammenarbeit) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH for their invaluable support in producing this publication.
