A project for rural recovery, food security and energy resilience: one connected system for food, clean power, circular waste processing and digital management.
Become a partnerOne integrated system rather than a collection of separate facilities. It produces food while improving energy resilience and resource efficiency, and is built to be replicated.
Poultry, greenhouse crops, cold & frozen storage.
Solar, agrivoltaics, batteries, efficient heating.
Organic waste, biogas, heat/energy, fertilizer.
Sensors, monitoring, AI optimization, alerts.
Several rural constraints at once, tackled together.
Local agricultural production, less dependence on centralized supply.
Dependable power for critical rural operations.
Use waste and local resources productively.
Combine agriculture with energy generation.
Employment, self-employment and training.
Monitor and optimize complex operations.
Each module works as an independent production unit while sharing power, heat and biological inputs with its neighbours.
Laying hens, broilers, automated feeding/drinking, ventilation, microclimate, outdoor runs.
Cooling, freezing, sorting and preparation to cut losses and improve sales flexibility.
Approx. 15 × 12–15 m: vegetables, herbs, seedlings and seasonal crops.
Approx. 241 modules; preliminary 75–80 kW, subject to engineering design.
Waste to biogas, heat and potential electricity; circular resource recovery.
Efficiency, control and replication through data.
Resources generated by one part of the operation become inputs for another.
Reduce waste-handling burden by creating a productive pathway.
Capture value from locally available organic resources.
Link energy and fertilizer outputs back into agricultural production.
Preliminary concept: dual land use that generates power and creates controlled growing conditions.
Generation
Dual land use
Storage + backup
Local energy source
Lower energy demand
Critical systems prioritized: ventilation, water, feeding, refrigeration/freezers, greenhouse systems, digital management, lighting, security.
AI assists optimization; critical systems keep safety mechanisms and manual intervention.
Microclimate, electricity, solar production, greenhouse, refrigeration and biogas.
Energy demand, solar output and abnormal operating conditions.
Battery charging/discharging, energy use, temperature and irrigation.
Excessive temperatures, equipment faults, unusual consumption, maintenance needs.
