Farming and Animals
Send a Cow's philosophy is that making the best use of natural resources such as soil, crops, animals and water enables farming to be inexpensive, effective and sustainable. Send a Cow provides animals including cows, goats and poultry, training and ongoing support. Training is in: management of animals to limit the damage they do to land; care to keep the animals healthy and productive; and farming best practice to increase crop yield and lower costs, for example by using composted manure rather than buying commercial fertiliser. Send a Cow also provides business and marketing skills training to farmers who become able to produce vegetables, milk, eggs or meat over and above the needs of their own families so that they can run small businesses in their communities.

Famous quotes containing the words farming and/or animals:
“With the farming of a verse
Make a vineyard of the curse,”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
