The goal of this activity is to achieve sustainable lifestyle for the inhabitants of Bissau, Guinea
Bissau, through a six segment plan. The segments are: greening the environment, renewable energy (new
devices and applications in both hardware and software), garbage recycling, innovation of all goods,
organic food plantation intake and transport. It is envisaged that through these segments, a 70 to 90
per cent savings can be made in overall sustainability costs and that the environment and resources can
be conserved and sustained.

Benefits
|
Potential for scaling-up and replication
|
The activity involves planting of high protein plants (soy), and late processing this material
into soy milk. Soy milk can substitute for 300 cows and provide 2,000 babies and/or adults with
their daily allowance of milk.
|
This activity involves obtaining food resources at low cost, development of land, water
irrigation, livelihood and economic/marketing benefits. The focus on planting high protein
vegetable crops will help to create jobs in the processing processing plant (to extract the
milk from the soy-plants) for women in the community. In addition, the high protein food stuff
will provide necessary nutrition for the children and adults in the communities.
|
The activities are based on beahviour change communications and therefore are replicable in
most countries. The idea behind the project would be to get communities to take actions and
these actions would be graded. Good grades would be rewarded with further funding for expansion
of the projects.
