Objective SUS results in Intensive collaboration Clusterfarming focussing on
Self sustainable communities Africa

Clusterfarming is a hub farm in Ghana, aiming to develop a scalable farming model in Western Africa. The hub farm is running for 7 years and proved to provide food in Ghana, for an affordable price.
It is our motivation to duplicate this farming model in different parts of Ghana and different countries in Africa, since there is a growing market for affordable food.

We think that self sustainable communities only have potential if this is part of a holistic and sustainable approach. This approach consists of delivering the following activities:
6. food production
7. renewable energy
8. water
9. waste
10. affordable housing

All these activities are highly scarce articles in the African market, especially in the rural areas.

What we do
Together with specialists in the activities as mentioned before, we develop projects, aiming to make areas self sustainable, in terms of food, energy, water, housing and waste. These areas can either be part of peri-urban areas near cities as real rural areas where’s few potential for development.

Impact
The model aims to make impact in:
– economic development (farming activities, energy, water, waste, housing)
– job creation
– reduce dependancy of fossil energy resources
– reduce dependancy of import of food
– social impact, in providing better living and working standards for all people
– environmental impact by circular system of food production, renewable energy, efficient water usage and re-use of waste + nature development
