Food Strong Namibia

Namibia Needs Food

Namibia is a young democracy in Sub-Saharan Africa with a population of approximately 2.5 Million people. The country’s agricultural sector has been slow to keep up with the increasing population. As a consequence, approximately 60% of the food required to feed the nation is imported. The elevated cost of these imported foods means a large proportion of the population consume food with low nutritional value, and approximately 1.4 million people living without food security.

Despite vast tracts of available arable land and strong water
resources (both above and below ground), the agricultural sector has struggled to capitalise. This is largely due to a lack of
investment, technical knowledge and available technologies.

The “Food Strong” Solution

Food Strong Namibia program is establishing three distinct food production and processing precincts which have access to large amounts of arable land, with high quality soil and strong water resources, as well as good transport connections to relevant markets. They are:

Otavi Region

Central Namibia

Kavango Region

North Namibia

Neckartal Dam

South Namibia

“Food Strong” Sustainability

Processing Facilities

Each of the allocated production zones will be furnished with handling, processing and milling facilities for all crops produced as part of the program. These will include Potatoes, Maize and Wheat.

Sustainable Solutions

All irrigation, cropping and production facilities will be operated “off grid” using extensive solar and hydroelectric power generation. In addition, cropping at all sites will be supported with the use of drones for spraying and crop analysis resulting in significant fuel savings and the associated carbon output.

“Food Strong” Education

“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed
him for a lifetime”

Education is key to empowerment and we embrace that concept. As such, we aim to offer a vocational education scheme for the participants in the Food Strong Namibia program. We aim to furnish the participants with the skills to be successful and sustainable farmers in their own rights.
