In South Africa, fertile land has always been an issue, but with V-EggFarming all you need is space.
Our Mission:
* To make successful, independent egg-and vegetable producers from rural, unemployed people;
* To provide more skills and opportunities to get out of poverty for existing small scale farmers;
* To curb malnutrition in rural areas by providing a daily boiled egg and veggies to kids in no fee schools.
* To make food production in Southern Africa environmentally sustainable in the long term.
VEggFarming 'Business In-A-Box' is an integrated Agro-Ecologial plan that combines egg production with vegetable production by the utilization of chicken manure through aerobic digestion. The transformed manure is ideal for hydroponic farming in greenhouses. The intended established V-EggCademies are to be set on working egg - and vegetable farms that use the equipment and technologies outlined here.
The skills, technology and equipment are then supplied and taught to new and upcoming small farmers. Some of the manure produced is transformed into biogas through the an-aerobic digester process, creating environmentally friendly energy on which the farms can partly operate.
The implementation of solar and wind energy will further reduce the ecological footprint and enhance the profitability and sustainability of the concept educational farm, and of the new operations that are going to be set up by the skilled VEggFarmers who 'graduate' at the V-EggCademies.
We are looking for more partners that believe in our mission, especially on the financial side - as these things cost money.
Veggfarming 'Business In-A-Box' is based on the principals of non-profit.
