The feacal matter w

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

In Ghana, most pigs are sold alive to customers who have to go through the pain of killing it themselves. Because most of these merchants are uneducated in the handling of meat, as well as the unsanitary conditions in which these animals are slaughtered, the pork becomes contaminated. It's also difficult to find pork meat in our local grocery stores because there isn't a well-packaged pork product on the market. On the market, assorted pig products such as sausages, etc. are similarly difficult to distinguish.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service fourni par votre startup (au moins 3).

In terms of social impacts, we intend to create employment for the youth and women in order to enable them to get a source of income. Since farming involves a lot of things, we will have to hire people with both skilled and unskilled labor for activities like feeding of the pigs, routine vaccination of the pigs, planting of crops etc. This will be an opportunity to help them learn the job and also gain money from it as employees. Our consumers will also be given the best of pork products which will lead to a healthier life. As per the United Nations SDG 12, which is Responsible Consumption and Production, we will ensure that we can provide consumers with an all-year-round protein rich product. and as we keep on rearing, the cycle gets completed; producing and consuming. Environmentally, we are looking at collecting biodegradable wastes in order to be able to grow our crops in the farms. Also the waste generated by pigs will be channeled to a bio-digestor where we will use the gas gene
