Alfalfa
One of the key benefits of alfalfa is that it brings untapped nutrients to the surface, including zinc, molybdenum, copper and more
WHT is growing Alfalfa at our Ugandan farm to use as fertilizer AND food. The crop can be grown around coffee trees to improve the flavor of the beans
Challenges
A Simple System, Built to Nourish
- Lightweight aluminum frame — easy to set up
- Full-spectrum LED lighting for year-round growth
- Self-feeding drip irrigation — no plumbing needed
- 100% natural, mineral-based nutrients
- Low-maintenance — harvest in just 3 weeks
Solution
Empowering All Ages to Grow with Purpose
Hempcrete (retentive and low-cost)
Bamboo as flexible reinforcement
Collection during wet season
Controlled irrigation during drought
Integration
From a Single Tent to a Movement
These modular, low-cost tanks will be used to support rice farming not only in Uganda but eventually across other parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
By combining sustainable building materials, affordable water storage technology, and modular design, we aim to expand rice production and improve nutrition and food security for thousands of people in vulnerable regions.
