Thanks to our methodologies it is possible to achieve yields of up to a thousand tons of fresh product per hectare per year, with an extremely low cost per ton. This is up to four times higher productivity than corn, using up to 10 times less water. In semi-arid areas the Wakonda system makes the development of animal breeding possible, both for meat and milk production.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The Ofi transformation process allows us to obtain healthy, high-quality feed products, and also to produce high-protein animal feed suitable for sustainable farming. Our technology allows us to start an exclusive fermentation system which allows us to raise the protein content of the feed produced up to 30% of the dry substance, creating the conditions to reduce the dependence on foreign fertilizers and feed and to source the increasingly growing demand for meat and milk available on the market.

The Wakonda system contributes to the achievement of 13 of these, with particular attention to food production, adaptation to climate change and poverty reduction.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_images_carousel images=”1238,1239,1240,1242,1251,1253,1243,1244,1245,1246,1247,1252,1248″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_no” slides_per_view=”5″ hide_pagination_control=”yes” partial_view=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_id=”elenco_obiettivi”][vc_column_inner el_class=”madre” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text el_id=”t0″] No poverty We have the ambition of making available a system that allows the development of arid and semi-arid areas of the planet, making cultivation and livestock farming possible in areas where it is not possible now, at an accessible price, with the result of increasing income available and reduce relative and absolute poverty. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t1″] Zero hunger Our greatest ambition is to feed the planet and help defeat hunger. Opuntia is perfect for this objective, because it allows us to recover less fertile and marginal land and produce animal feed precisely where it is most difficult or impossible to raise animals. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t2″] Good health and well-being Opuntia manages to regenerate soil polluted by heavy metals and hydrocarbons, which often generate serious problems due to the pollution of aquifers. From Opuntia it is also possible to produce bio-flocculants at low cost, for the purification of waste water and their reuse in the agricultural field. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t3″] Gender equality “Work” is the main tool for female “empowerment”, for truly achieving gender equality. Most of Wakonda’s production and processing activities can be managed by women, the mechanization of plantation and processing allows them to work without the need to use great muscular effort. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t4″] Clean water and sanitation The efficient management of water resources is a distinctive point of the Wakonda project, thanks to which triple the production of corn can be obtained on one hectare of land, consuming 10 times less water. The water saved or extracted from Ofi can be used for other uses, improving living conditions and/or agricultural production. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t5″] Affordable and clean energy Ofi is the ideal plant to obtain large quantities of biogas for electric cogeneration or biomethane in a sustainable way: it is the cultivation that most effectively coexists with agro-voltaic fields, in particular on marginal or unproductive land for traditional crops. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t6″] Decent work and economic growth Wakonda is an ideal system for developing arid and semi-arid areas of the planet, i.e. areas that are suffering the consequences of climate change. It is possible to encourage widespread, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, dignified work both for women than men, in the most depressed areas of the Mediterranean basin and in sub-Saharan Africa. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t7″] Industry, innovation and infrastructures Wakonda is a model that can be reproduced in multiple countries, in a plug & play mode, with a technology transfer model aimed at encouraging development even in depressed areas or with low human impact, generating employment and sustainable growth in the medium and long term. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t8″] Reduces inequalities The economic growth achievable through the adoption of Wakonda is a harbinger of an increase in jobs and an income distribution that starts from the primary sector, agriculture, and therefore, by definition, tends to reduce income inequalities and inequalities. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t9″] Sustainable cities and communities Opuntia contributes to the bioremediation of land, allows the recovery of vast abandoned areas, guarantees biodiversity thanks to its rusticity and low or no input of agrochemicals, prevents hydrogeological instability, and is a natural fire barrier. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t10″] Responsibile consumption and production With the Wakonda model applied on large plots of land, it is possible to simultaneously produce healthy foods, feed for animal breeding, biomethane and solid and liquid digestate: all this on marginal land and with a low water footprint, therefore in a process that is sustainable from the point of view environmental. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t11″] Climate action The Wakonda model allows you to best produce feed, food and bioenergy from the same hectare of land, providing a tool for adapting to the local effects of climate change. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”t12″] Life on land Wakonda contributes to protecting, restoring and promoting sustainable use of the land ecosystem, combating desertification, stopping land degradation, stopping the loss of biological diversity. This can be done with medium/low capital intensity investments compared to long-term shares.
