They regularly held a meeting held in the group of farms, held trainings and discussions on organic farming ways in the hometown.
Now after almost two years of Kelud mountain eruption, Babadan village began to be an organic village. People are trained to be a smart and tough farmers to maximize the potential. There are no farmers who are dissolved by the auction of chemical fertilizers, because the cattle and plants around them are "factories" of underived organic fertilizers.
