Mission

​

The AgriFund Management Centre's main objective is to 

reduce GHG emissions across the agricultural value Chain.

​

Who do we work with?

​

• Small-scale farmers - food losses are all the crop and livestock human-edible commodity quantities that, directly or indirectly, completely exit the post-harvest production/supply chain by being discarded, incinerated, or otherwise, and do not re-enter in any other utilization (such as animal feed, industrial use, etc.). The post-harvest waste of fruit and vegetables can be reduced considerably through adequate cool storage. We work with small-scale farmers to repurpose their food waste and convert it into bioenergy to fuel cool storage for perishable stock such as fruit and vegetables.

​​

• Large-scale farmers - we work in partnership with large-scale farmers to improve energy efficiency of the farm through bioenergy. Bioenergy consists of food waste, animal waste and plants that is repurposed into energy. This process reduces GHG emissions from large-scale farming and improves farming sustainability. We also work with the farmers on environmental management ISO 14001, energy management ISO 50001 and GRI reporting.

​​

• Traders - food waste from food trade stores can end in landfills. We work with food trade stores to reduce their emissions from food waste by recycling their dry and tinned food waste through a recycling program, where food is redistributed to local schools to address food security issues in educational establishments.

​​

• Housing Developers - We work with housing developers and associations to provide a source of bioenergy to tenants and home-owners by recycling food waste into bioenergy. The bioenergy plant will recycle food waste to provide energy for local residents.

​

​

Where do we work?

​

We are developing projects and programs within Africa​

We also work within the EU region for policy engagement about our work.

- structured policies, processes, procedures and action plans to implement energy saving activities
- continuous improvement in energy management
- energy cost savings
- carbon emissions reduction
- ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 and enhance reputational benefits

Implementation of Waste Management System
Using one of two models to help you to control your waste
MODEL 1: Operational Planning and Control Risk Model
- Highlighting and recommending how to eliminate waste
- Recommending alternative or substitute resources that do not cause so much waste
- Assist you in engineering or repurposing waste into a recycled product (biomass)
- The final option is to offset the waste that is generating emissions (tree planting)
MODEL 2: Hierarchal Waste Management
We assess you for waste avoidance and provide recommendations
We then look for opportunities to reduce, reuse, recycle or recover
If none of these are possible then treating and disposing of the waste is the last resort.


Education and Training 
- GRI Sustainability Reporting - we provide training and guidance as to how you can measure,     communicate and disclose your environmental impacts and risks in a transparent and accountable   manner.
- GHG Emissions Avoidance - we can work with you in calculating emissions avoidance on our          recycling programs
- Sage Accounting - we provide opportunities to obtain training using Sage Accounting software with      our in-house training.
- Environmental Management training - how ready are you for ISO 14001 Assessment
- Energy Management training - how ready are you for ISO 50001 Assessment
- Free financial spreadsheets for sustainability planning and forecasting


Innovation & Technology
- Opportunities to re-engineer, reuse and repurpose your food waste
- Investment opportunities
- Improved Supply Chain Management
- Improved Customer Relations


Sustainability Development Goals
