Farming

VEggFarming 'Business In-A-Box' is an integrated Agro-Ecologial initiative.VeggFarming combines the transfer and development of business skills, egg production knowledge and hydroponic vegetable production expertise.Through the utilization of chicken manure by a microbiological process called aerobic digestion, VeggFarmers will be producing more and healthier eggs & vegetables at lower costs to the farmer, the people of South Africa and the environment.VeggFarming BIAB strives to establish schools of learning called 'VEggCademies' in rural areas, to be set on newly established working egg - and hydroponic vegetable production farms, which use the equipment and technologies outlined on this website. The skills, technology and equipment are then supplied and taught to newly skilled, upcoming, small to medium sized farmers.Some of the chicken manure is transformed into methane/biogas through a parallel 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 VeggCademy Educational Farming Institutions, and of the hundreds of new farming operations; modelled to the VeggCademies - to be set up by newly graduated VEggFarmers who graduated successfully from the VEggCademy. 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.
