Setting up Green Planet Rural Agricultural Industry Centres — GPRAIC — these are the processing and social support services that form hubs around rural communities
enabling subsistence farmers to compete in the world market places and support their families and their own communities
The winners are Sakhiwe Shongwe and Bonkhe Mahlalela, both 14, and their winning project explores an affordable way to provide hydroponics to poor
subsistence farmers,
enabling them to grow their crops and vegetables in very large quantities and within limited space without using soil.
