The 9 Arms of an AG Community
AGRICULTURE
The agricultural arm, the cornerstone of the AG Community program, accelerates the production, growth and yield of agriculture farming, agri-food and agri-based product sector. It introduces innovative technologies and advanced farming practices and helps open and capture opportunities in domestic and global markets. Goals include providing:
• aid to famine situations by bringing food sources and food security solutions.
• the means to agricultural transformation, offering sustainable economic growth employment creation and reduced dependence on food imports.
WATER
Water is the most vital resource for the AG Community. WSG brings to the AG community water reclamation technologies for cleaning water, providing grey water for irrigation and potable clean drinking water for humans and animal herds. Where appropriate, closed sub-systems will be introduced that recover 50-70% of the water used, safely and cost-effectively.
HERD DEVELOPMENT
The herd development arm of the AG Community will help grow healthy food sources thereby supporting healthier herds. This will be achieved by introducing innovative seed and grass feed technologies that generate healthier more nutrient rich feed, cutting the need for antibiotics and hormones and reducing methane gas emissions.
CLEAN ENERGY
Clean energy is a key pillar of the AG Community, which will be carbon neutral and eliminate the need for fossil fuels by utilizing solar, wind and geothermal power. The AG Community is designed as self-sustaining, operating off the electric grid in a closed system thereby delivering lower cost, longer-term electric power.
HOUSING
The AG Community housing arm will provide cost-effective, energy efficient, safe innovative housing for permanent and temporary community workers and their families. It will include building community living and recreational structures and the industrial facilities to support the operations of the community.
TRANSPORTATION
Transportation systems within and into the AG community include:
• Vehicle transportation (Trucks, buses, family automobiles, scooters, bicycles, emergency vehicles (ambulance and fire)
• An industrial transport system
The goal is for vehicles within the community limits to go green, through the use of hybrid or electric vehicles.
EDUCATION
The education arm will provide basic schooling and higher education opportunities to residents of the AG Community, raising the educational floor within the community and strengthening family resilience. Programs include primary and post-primary schools, a girls to school program, a vocational trade center and center for advanced studies, teacher training, health care worker training, and grants and scholarships.
