It has been established that there is a strong link between
hunger, poor nutrition, poverty, poor health and agriculture in
developing countries. Nearly 70% of the people who live in dire
poverty (earning less than US$2 per day) in the developing world
live in rural agricultural areas, where their food security,
income and employment is mostly dependent on crude farm
practices.
The existing agricultural practices in the developing countries
are characterized by Poor soil management , inefficient water
use, lack of access to plant breeding resources, lack of access
to high-quality seed, lack of fuel and electricity together with
the recent extreme environmental conditions have made yields in
crops and animal production far lower in the region than world
averages.
Efficient farm management and establishment of new viable food
production and agro-processing enterprises in the rural
communities will increase agricultural productivity and serve as
a major stepping stone on the path out of poverty, creating
opportunities for the poor to generate sustainable income and
create wealth.
Our Zero-Waste Agricultural system is aimed at removing all the
constraints associated with modern farming practice and we have
also devised a well-planned operational model that can easily
integrate our commercial scale operations with existing small
scale farmers. We see this huge numbers of small scale farmers
as important members of our farm projects and welcome every
opportunity to work and exchange ideas with them.

By developing new products, technologies and creating new
