AGRI-PARKS …. AGRI-HUBS
VERSION 101 Of
THE BROWN REVOLUTION
The National MAGIC Initiative April 2016
DESIGNED, FORMULATED, ENGINEERED & MANAGED BY:
SOIL - SOUL - SOCIETY
A National Applied Technology Initiative (NATI) by:
WHY COOPERATIVES?
ILO World Conference 2015 -
WHY AGROECOLOGY ? (1) 1. Reversing the negative effect of climate change 2. Application of the 17 outcomes of SDG’s 3. Food, fibre and fuel sovereignty 4. Peer to peer education and training 5. All-in-one and one-stop- shop for small producers
WHY AGROECOLOGY ? (2) 6. New generation of true agrarian producers 7. Cleaner production and consumption 8. Local autonomy, self sufficiency and independence 9. Good nutrition, diet and immunology 10. Saving and conserving water and energy
A PROGRAM 1. FOR THE PEOPLE, 2. BY THE PEOPLE, 3. WITH THE PEOPLE
STARTS WITH THE SOFIA PARK IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH MUNICIPALITY
HOW DOES IT WORK?
BASED ON THE 4 PILLARS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Millennium old technology
550 millions small traditional farmers feed 2/3 of world population
Point of departure: the soil organic fertility
Complex supply and value chain – no single ownership
Biological and microbiological “magic”
Animal manure – particularly ruminant mammals
Composts
Green manure
Cellulose – logs for domestic fuels
Mulches
Biochar
Effective Micro-organisms
Vermiculture,
Natural “intervention” tinctures
Guano
Bone meal
Sea weed
SOIL IS THE NEW … the GOLD
Change in the water retention capacity of soils (L/Ha) as the organic carbon levels (OC) at 30 cm depth vary (soil density 1.2 g/cm3)

As we increase carbon levels, you will find Enormous gains in WATER RETENTION, With high carbon sinkage facilities.
The MIRACLE and the SECRET

SKILLED PEOPLE ARE THE NEW … the GOLD
CAPABLE
Center of Agroecology Production Adaptation, Broad-based, Learning Excellence
Cooperative governance
Communal project management Cluster of agroecology activities Value chain programmatic Social cohesion Cultural diversity Solidarity and prosperity
LEARNING & EARNING WHILE YOU DIG
From seed to local markets Family & community first Surplus to open markets Autonomy and self sufficiency Real and true farmer as a national Hero Learn and produce within sustainability Cash and savings towards sovereignty

AGRI-LOGISTICS 101 Move the artisan enterprise where the action is
Operated by the local skilled Cooperatives - mobile on trucks, by trucks
The conversion of Biomass into fuel requires the combination of novel technologies, including a gasification unit and a Fischer-Tropsch . The carbon feedstock (municipal waste or coal) is converted to syngas (mainly carbon monoxide and hydrogen) in the Gasifier. The syngas is passed through a gas cleanup step to reduce the levels of harmful contaminants in the gas that could be damaging to novel reactor system. The clean syngas is then introduced to the reactor containing the Modified Fischer-Trospch catalysts, producing synthetic fuels. The product stream from the reactor is then cooled and product cuts removed at the appropriate point. The remaining tail gas is passed to an electricity generation unit. The process is flexible and the ratio of fuel-to-electricity production can be varied accordingly.
The prototype unit is capable of processing 1 ton of biomass and converting it into 1 barrel of liquid fuels (syncrude) per day and sufficient electricity to operate the plant. The plant has been designed such that it fits into a container and onto a truck – a world first for fuel production!
AGRI-LOGISTICS 101 – Fuel Production
AGRI-HUBS – LOCAL COMMUNITY MARKETS Partnership with Municipalities
A NATIONAL BRAND
TUK-TUK HAWKERS BRIGADES – FROM THE HUBS TO THE STREETS
