Simon,
I agree with your proposal, and this is why we have the arrangement that we
do have with Hawajo Farm (MFA-CHARA March discussion).  A key challenge for
us (and the farm owner) is sourcing for capital in the form of grants from
international aid agencies and private benevolent foundations to finance
certain activities. We would like assistance with the list of such bodies.

The biodigester appears to be a crucial link of the activities of an IBS
farm, in terms of materials-flow, and I'd like to seize this opportunity to
invite offers for the training of our staff in the technology of anaerobic
digestion, and the construction of digesters. Truly, if digesters are
popularized and put into practice in Nigeria, the waste in our agriculture
could be reduced significantly.
