JEEP has partnered with Sistema.bio, a Mexican based company that manufactures prefabricated recycled plastic geomembrane biodigesters. Sistema.bio technology is a biogas hybid reactor, designed to treat the daily waste of animal farms. The reactor ferments manure mixed with water, producing biogas and a powerfil bio fertilizer. Sistema.bio partnered with JEEP to promote carbon financed project to help dairy farmers to acquire these systems at a subsidized price.
Summary Environmental issues and controlling, mitigating them is becoming evermore important in the Zombo region in Uganda (more specifically the sub-counties Paidha and Atyak). Extensive, destructive usage of the soil and other natural resources, together with, among others, poor waste management cause more severe droughts, combined with the increase of spreading pests and diseases. To raise awareness and reduce these negative impacts, the project “Eco Pesa” (Swahili for “Eco Money”) focusses therefore on environmental education and income generation through practical environmental conservation.
