System
Overview
Our programme provides skills
training from very basic but sustainable food security through to
commercial farming, and is designed around a holistic organic approach,
that from the onset, lays down the groundwork defining universal
organic standards for those participants seeking to further grow
and develop their project with a view to attaining certification
on a commercial farming level.
This versatile modular layout can be implemented on an extremely modest
scale, and has the scope to expand up to an intensive and commercially
viable venture.
At the very least, even
at the smallest scale of an individual learning this system to
supply their own basic food needs, the
programme teaches environmental awareness and responsibility.
It provides the knowledge
to build and improve the surrounding ecology, to respect, and where
possible to enhance, the natural resources available, thus creating
a platform for sustainability.
The unique and cost
effective water saving
irrigation feature of the Ecocircle® system allows for intensive
horticultural cultivation, despite only utilizing
an average of 70%
less water than conventional systems.
This key factor undeniably
underscores the ecological advantage and resource protection features
of the system.
Our
aim with this programme, is to educate and uplift, thus assisting in the
attainment of self-help skills in order to alleviate the reliance on hand
outs which are becoming increasingly scarce and indeed in many instances
too late.
The
Ecocircle® Group comprises :
