SUSTAINABLE AND SUPPLEMENTAL SYSTEMS

In 2017 the founder, Rikalize developed a Small modular sustainable system for individual families – sustaining a single family of 4-6 as part of her Feeding Africa dream.

We also extensively do a supplemental system which is a (semi commercial) for small holders, and or community centres to supplement existing kitchens.

This system deliver a field-validated framework (including a roll-out roadmap, handbook and project toolkit) as a step-by-step guide to design, implement and monitor the community-based embedment of (urban) aquaponics systems as a means to strengthen the micro-economic activity in the green economy and climate change adaptation of South Africa
Ideal for, i.e. research organisations, industry, government and local communities, old age homes, stokvels, clinics, churches, schools, correctional services, soup kitchens, restaurants, lodges and guesthouses.
With this we are building the adaptive capacity of individuals and rural communities through networking and sharing in order to reduce the impact of climate change specifically on food production, nutrition, vector-borne disease and health and as supplement to existing kitchens
