Climate-Smart Agriculture in Nhademba

The project introduces farmers to simple and affordable techniques to protect their crops and preserve water resources in the face of increasingly unpredictable weather conditions. Through practical demonstrations in corn fields, the project teaches them to build water retention barriers, infiltration trenches and erosion control structures. These solutions help to preserve soil moisture, reduce soil degradation and strengthen the capacity of rural communities to cope with drought and other climate shocks.

The Hydroponic Agriculture Initiative

The project is setting up a vertical hydroponic solar-powered farm in Windhoek, Namibia, to enhance food security in one of the world's most arid countries. The project combines climate-smart food production with income generation, generating jobs, supplying local communities with agricultural products and funding the VillageFXB model, which supports education, health and livelihood development programs. By combining renewable energy and hydroponic agriculture, this initiative proposes a replicable model for climate resilience and sustainable development.
