Feed a man, he is fine for a day; teach him to feed himself he is healthy for life
In partnership with our local district we have secured access to 1000 acres of viable land with a clean water source to begin a community farming program. What this entails:
- Quality soil that has already been tilled but needs fertilized
- List of high yield healthy food items to be grown in both a garden and greenhouse setting
- Hatchery, animal husbandry and dairy setup in a confined humane farm setup
- Classroom to teach (at no charge) how to effectively manage and grow food, how to prepare balanced meals, and semi-mature plant donations to participants to begin gardens in their village while teaching others
- We are currently in the funding application round for seeds/greenhouse/hatchery/dairy production however the rest has been established and multiple grants have been submitted to achieve the remaining funding to begin this critical initiative
- 1/3 of farm land – quick yield crops to address food shortage, 1/3 longe term commodities (coffee, cotton, tea, etc), 1/3 forestry
