OBJECTIVES



Promote entrepreneurial skills through the farming community. Structured skills development and training programs aimed at grass roots level. Empower food security project participants through training and partnership programs. Reduce unemployment and poverty by creating self reliance. Empower emerging and commercial farmers to manage and sustain their enterprises. Practical application of skills for learners in in all training programs. Enhance the economic status of farming communities. Improve the quality of life of local communities by creating capacity for increased income through the acquisition of skills. ​



Business Strategy



Our business strategy is to establish large quantities of small community farmers, that are already running their own operation on land that is available to them.


We combine the production of all these small farms and then construct infrastructure for the processing and packaging of the products that produced. Thereby giving them secured off-take agreements and an off-set for their products on retail shelves.


We assist farmers with a turn-key solution and a ‘farming-in-a-box’ product, complete with training, business development skills, mentoring and monitoring for continuous improvement.


This helps to build sustainable farm systems for the future generations.

Action Plan



Action Plan Establish sustainable farming projects with high quality produce, delivered fresh to retailer's shelves, utilising the manpower, land, capital, and existing or new infrastructure of these farming communities. Assist Primary Cooperatives from the Previously Disadvantaged Groups, farming on community land to establish new farming operations on a turnkey basis. Assist existing farmers with marketing startegies and activities and securing special off-take agreements with buyers and retailers. Train local farmers and farm workers, basic skills and technical know-how of farming via our mechanisation centre and skilled artisans. Create opportunities for newly trained farmers to deliver contract farming services to local farming communities, thereby creating revenue streams due skills aquired and availability of tools. Constantly create new business concepts to develop sustainable farming programmes, which in turn creates new jobs, transfering skills to people at all levels.
