💼 What the programme involves
Thème :Construction of an agricultural farm with the appropriate technology
FAGAD’s ideas the creation of a farm with the appropriate technology in the area of agricultural production. An agriculture at the same time local and bio;a farm where the major part of the elements entering in the production are of local origin.
Work to be done :
• Organization of the farm;
• Building stables;
• Search for water;
• Provide food for the animals:
• Look after animals:
• Production of natural compost and gardening
• Reforestation and plantation fruit trees;
• Planting medicinal trees;
• Creation of areas with European vegetable products ( plants or cutttings of mint, of strawberries, of raspberries, of vine, of apple and other fruit trees…);
• Harvests;
• Keeping and storing products in appropriate packages.
🏠 Accommodation on site
volunteers will sleep in the bedrooms of the farm ( with beds and mattresses). Rooms with WC and shower. Just get some water.
No electricity. They will use lights and solar modules. It is possible we buy some a generator too.
The wifi connection will be possible as soon as we have the acceptable energy
Food will be African and European. Many things that you will eat will come from the farms. You will have vegetables and fresh fruit from the area. Everyone will participate.
📍 About the location
The farm « Fuentes « is situated a 5 kms from Danyi Apeyémé, the seat of the Prefecture of Danyi; a large town where you can find a post office, a poice commissariat, a hospital center and a law court. Danyi Apeyémé is around 15 kms from Adeta. The farm has no electricity which explains that any initiative to install solar panels or other source of energy is to be encouraged.
In the meantime we struggle to have an electric generator to allow the farm to have a wifi connection and other services
