Generating cooking gas and electricity from cow waste.

The Video tells the story.....

Wonder Plant Replacing Synthentic Fertilizer.

Tithonia (Asteraceae)

The lush green plants in the midst of high-rise residential houses in Githurai, Nairobi makes the farm stand out.

Bananas, paw paws and indigenous vegetables that include spider plant compete for space on the about half-acre farm.

Let's make our own fire!

Many rural areas where farming is the main stay and their cooking is done with firewood and this is gotten by cutting down trees, As the years roll by, the further they have to go to fetch it. Most of this rural dwellers are farmers who generate from their harvest such as rice husk, groundnut husk etc.

Local refrigeration

 l did bump into this when l visited Eco-Resource centre in Nairobi, Kenya. l got fascinated by the simplicity and its functionality. The simple piece of innovation so ideal for the preservation of vegetables and fruits in areas especially rural where there is no access to electricity.

From simple bamboo.......

Through my time in different rural settings, l know bamboo is regularly used as uprights in the farm, fencing animal sheds and for those in the building construction industry use it as scaffolds.

A Kenyan friend who is the project manager of Kenyan bamboo centre was benevolent to send me images of what they are achieving from the same bamboo many do not place premium on.

Growing Mushroom

The young man in the video who showed the reporter his mushroom farm (mud house) where he grows his mushrooms (the button variety) in bags and on shelves.. A room contains 1000bags which produces 2000kgs every 11 weeks. And a kilo of mushroom sells for 600shillings ($7), so when he harvests and package the 2000kg, he gets $14,000! and  the production cost is about $1,750!
