Adam Salifu
I am the founder of a business that focuses on producing organic mushrooms, snails, and vegetables. Our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendliness is at the core of our operations. Here are some of the green practices we follow:
Agricultural Waste Recycling: We take agricultural waste and recycle it into the production of our organic mushrooms. This not only helps in waste reduction but also transforms it into a valuable resource.
Compost Production: The by-products of our mushroom substrates are used as compost to fertilize the soil for growing our organic vegetables. This closed-loop approach ensures that nothing goes to waste, and we maintain healthy soil for vegetable cultivation.
Upcycling Egg Shells and Food Waste: We creatively upcycle eggshells and waste from vegetables and fruits to feed our snails. This sustainable practice reduces waste and repurposes these materials as a valuable source of nutrition for our snails.
Low-Cost Organic Production: Our products are all produced organically, resulting in healthy and environmentally friendly mushrooms, snails, and vegetables. This also contributes to lower production costs.
In recognition of our dedication to green practices, we were honored with the 2021 Business Plan Competition award. Our future goals are aligned with our commitment to sustainability:
Briquette Charcoal Production: We aim to recycle agricultural waste into briquettes for charcoal, reducing waste and contributing to eco-friendly fuel sources.
Exporting Snails and Cosmetic Production: We plan to expand our operations by exporting snails and extracting slime for cosmetic production, utilizing every part of our snail farming for various purposes.
Mushroom-Based Products: We aspire to process mushrooms into flour for the production of noodles and pasta, showcasing the versatility and value of this nutritious ingredient.
By implementing these goals, we aim to further enhance our green credentials and promote sustainability in agriculture and food production.
