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
consists of:
Ecocircle® Holdings (Pty) Ltd - which
has developed, and will continue to develop and own the Copyright
of the training material.
