Electronic Agriculture in Kenya’s Arid and Semi–Arid Lands (ASAL) Schools.
The E-Agriculture methodology seeks to produce agricultural products including crops and livestock in Kenya’s ASAL Schools as a source of learning, food security and agri-business. This innovation will combine water harvesting technology, drip irrigation technology and conservation agriculture methods, green (bicycle) transport and I.C.T to realize the above. The innovation will therefore use an electronic medium to discuss, create and develop agriculture in ASAL schools through: 1. Introduction of technology: This will involve water harvesting, drip irrigation (including green houses) conservation agriculture, organic farming etc 2. Introduction of a medium for students and out of school youths to discuss agriculture entrepreneurship amongst their schools and their international colleagues. It is envisaged that computers will be introduced for the pilot project and connected to internet. Websites would be installed. Within the website, among other things: (a) Success cases would be posted (b) Electronic Newsletter would be published quarterly A hard copy of this E-Newsletter would also be produced and distributed to other schools and farmers. This web –based system will therefore connect the actors – the teachers, students, parents, education, agriculture, water, information and NGO officials etc. This operation function will therefore offer a robust, highly scalable, high speed platform to carry out the following tasks:- Publishing of static agriculture profiles of schools and other actors and offering of testimonials of E-Agriculture successes and challenges. The E- Newsletter and its hard copy alternative are expected to attract even more stakeholders who target these schools as their market segment. These include colleges, universities, and student counselors, book publishers, peace builders, HIV –AIDS counselors etc. View

Fog collection for coastal countries
Basically want to ask if anyone is interested in combining several projects "Water Resources" ideas into one small project (including Fog Collection) fog water collection can be used for agriculture irrigation In coastal countries fog generally develops in the coastal mountains which tend to be water scarce and agricultural areas. Fog can be captured and used for irrigation of agriculture or even consumption depending on its makeup. For inland countries, the fog that forms at high elevations usually isn't dense enough to capture enough water for use. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to combine some of the aspects of our varying projects to create a more comprehensive plan on utilizing water collection and storage methods to help a specific community. I'm suggesting one small project that combines several of the previously suggested ideas to be specifically targeted at any (compatible) single village or community. Any takers? View
