We believe that we have to work to secure the future for ourselves and our children.

We need methods that address many challenges,
Southern Africa will be arid within just 30 years,
and over the same period, Africa's population,
will grow by 1.2 Billion People.

* We have to rethink and change the rules of the game.
* We have to learn to produce more food with less water.
* We have to recycle water, not just reduce our use.
* We have to produce more energy at less cost

The Late Prof George Chan called this the IFS
or Integrated Farming System

Fertiliser EffluentThe natural highly nutritious by-product of Biodigestion
Algae Production Alowing a portion of the fertiliser effluent to lie in shallow basins, will produce Algae growth, which dried & peletised is used directly as fish food
Hydroponics Passing the balance of the daily volume of fertiliser slurry effluent into hydroponic tubes, pref mounted in terraces will be perfect feed for most vegetables and flower production
Aquacultureflowing the nutrient depleted water from the hydroponics, into fish growing ponds and using the dried algae pelletised as feed, promises an excellent fish production.
Wetlandsonce the water has passed through the fish ponds, it is fed into ponds which have floating mats, through wich typical wetland plants are growing, this reduces polutants in the water to almost zero
Energy, Methane Gas is harvested from the Biodigester and used as the fuel for electricity generation, providing energy for the organisation as well as water pumoing etc.
Carbon Dioxide.CO2 is scrubbed from the Biogas, leaving the Methane almost pure, and the CO2 is then fed into the Hydroponic Greenhouse to enhance natural photosynthesis

Integrated Farming Systems

Base Activity, Generally animal farming, eggs or dairy, whereby faecal waste is available.
Waste to Energy, To cycle as many types of biodigestible waste through a Biodigester to produce Methane Gas for Fuel or for Heating

Digester Effluent to Food For every liter of waste fed into a Digester, one liter of Fertiliser Effluent is produced, in a watery slurry form

Water Security After passing the slurry through the Hydroponics and Aquaculture, the remaining water is passed into Mini Wetlands, where plants on Floating Mats continue to purify the water

Spinoffs

There is a vast amount of value in Biogas Technology which provides for skilled and semi skilled training

in comparison to Solar Systems, Biogas has far greater value to the country than Solar & Wind

Thats why we say we are part of the Blue Economy, which is a little more careful about what we do than in the Green Economy.
