- Will the living plots for the families have land available to provide food for the families and provide them with food security?
Food security for the families is an absolute objective - which model is used to make that happen (ie, individual plots growing 1 family's food or communnal plots that the community farms for subsistence+) is not yet determined.
- Will your Dutch Investor contract which crops are to be grown? Will you have freedom of choice in the crops?
The company will contract which crops they will buy but it's unlikely that 100% of the crops grown will be sold that way. Built into the crop rotation plan will be foods that can be sold on the local market as well. That said, the company we've been talking to is on the look-out for new and viable products to sell on the European organic foods market and are keen to see what kind of solar dried foods we might come up with.
