Sustainable Agricultural Community Maximizes the Value of Every Dollar Spent

• The SAC

is

a holistic

solution

implemented

under

GCG’s

seamless umbrella of cooperation, planning, design,

management and coordination.

– More effective

than

a disjointed

deployment

of

separate

solutions

and efforts individually integrated.

• The SAC is a vehicle, which carries people and nations

down the

road

to

long

‐term

sustainability.– Goes beyond meeting the immediate survival needs and includes

building, training and establishing future‐proof communities.

Global Crisis

Food production

for

internal

consumption

and

is

KEY to every nation’s ability to survive.

Today there

is

a global

epidemic

of

food

shortages, due to both natural and man‐made

conditions.

It is

vital

that

we

seek

new

ways

of

using

technology in conjunction with nature, to

overcome this crisis.

Challenges Faced by Nigeria• 58% of the Nigerian population ‐ approximately 63.6 million people do not have access to safe drinking water

• 68% of the Nigerian population – approximately 103 million people do not have access to sanitation

• High mortality from water borne diseases across the country.

• Diarrhea is the 2nd largest killer of children, causing as many as 17% of the deaths of those under the age of 5.

• 24 million people in urban areas remain without access to improved sources drinking water in 2006

• 50 million people remain without access to improved sources of drinking water in the rural areas in 2006

• The proportion of the urban population with access to improved sanitation was 35% in 2006.

• The proportion of the population in rural areas with access to improved sanitation was 25% in 2006.

• Only 1 in 3 people in urban areas and 1 in 4 people in rural areas have access to improved sanitation facilities.

• Daily, nearly 3,000 children (1 in 7) under the age of 5 die in Nigeria.

• Nigeria has

one

of

the

highest

rates

of

infant

mortality

in

the

world.

• Children are more prone to such diseases as cholera and malaria.

• Nigeria is under pressure to reduce its high infant mortality rate, which is exacerbated by the poor water supply.

• 60.9% of Nigerians in 2010 were living in "absolute poverty ‐ less than a US$1/day

• The total number of severely acute malnourished children in Nigeria is 1.2 million.

• More than

half

the

160

million

people

live

without

power.

Facilities

blackouts.

• 30%‐40% of the total population live in the urban areas, with an average household of 5 persons

• The occupancy ratio of houses in Nigeria is 6 persons per room of 20m2.

• About 60% of Nigerians are without adequate shelter (under‐housed and no housing).

• Residential home ownership in Nigeria is less than 25%.

• Nigeria’s Water Road Map MDG target is to supply 74% of the population with safe water and 69% of the

population with

adequate

sanitation by

2015. 7




GlobalCon’s Holistic

Approach

GCG brings

comprehensive

22

nd

century cutting

‐edge

infrastructure technologies.

GCG works with governments and investors utilizing

Public‐Private

Partnerships

to

deploy

our

integrated

systems as a means to end the cycle of poverty.

GCG’s “umbrella” management brings the disciplines together

in

a seamless

and

coordinated

way

so

that

the

holistic plan is constantly monitored for quality and

control.

GCG utilizes

the

Six Principles of Sustainability

1. Maintain and, wherever possible, enhance its residents’ quality of life.

2. Enhance

local

economic

vitality.

3. Ensure social equity.

4. Enhance environmental quality.

5. Incorporate disaster resilience and mitigation.

6. Use a consensus‐building, participatory process in making decisions.

• All GCG housing and facilities designs, engineering and construction are

sustainably built

and

energy

efficient.

• GCG housing solutions are designed to withstand the elements and are certified to

be earthquake, flood, tornado, wind, and hurricane resistant.

• Materials used for construction are chosen for their long‐lasting qualities and are

fire, bug, vermin and mold resistant.

• GCG community housing solutions encompass plans and designs for a wide array

of housing types, both urban and rural – ranging from affordable low‐cost to

luxury homes, dormitories, worker facilities, and international vacation and

retirement resorts.

• GCG’s SAC’s

facilities

include

medical

clinics,

libraries

and

community

resource

centers, schools, commercial, administrative, recreational and local government

offices.

• GCG and its partners, through its construction activities, will bring added value

through the establishment of local manufacturing facilities for the production of

related materials,

as

well

as

the

direct

‐hire

and

training

of

local

workers.

U.S.

Building

Codes

Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) Housing

INCREASED WEATHER RESISTANCE ‐ SIP buildings can withstandup to 200mph/category 5 hurricanes and major earthquakes.

EASE OF

CONSTRUCTION

‐SIP

buildings

go

together

fast

and

easy,

saving construction costs.

THERMAL EFFICIENCY ‐ A building containing floors, walls and roof structure of SIPs will have up to 75% less heat/energy loss or gain.

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE ‐ SIP building panels have unbelievable strength due to

the stressed skin technology used in their manufacturing.

DURABILITY ‐ Buildings constructed with SIPs can last a century or more with low

maintenance and are fire, mold and termite proof.

SOUNDPROOFING ‐ Low noise transmission as SIPs are sound retardant.

ENVIRONMENTAL ‐ SIPs are made with plant fibers, not wood, and do not release chlorofluorocarbons into the ozone.

• Assist farmers to grow foods of the highest quality

using natural processes, free of chemical residues,

distributed

for

local,

regional,

and

global

markets• Assist farmers to form collectives to achieve optimal

sales results.

• Introduce agricultural products and techniques to

prevent and remediate soil erosion and reforestation.

• biofuel from feedstock plants.

• Promote and provide coal/wood cooking alternatives

• Introduce to farmers plants that can be used to

generate a source of revenue for farmers such as:

Hydroponic Farming

• Soil Quality

• Climate/Weather www.globalcongroup.com



Aquaponics• Aquaponics is a hybrid food growing technology

• Combines the best of aqua‐culture (growing fish) and

hydroponics (growing plants without soil).

• Completely organic

‐the

fish

waste

is

a natural

fertilizer

and

that means no pesticides.

• Designed to raise large quantities of fish in small volumes of

water by removing toxic waste products and reusing it.

• Non‐toxic

nutrients

and

organic

matter

accumulate

and

these

by

‐products

are channeled into secondary crops or back into the fish production

system.

• Systems that grow additional crops by utilizing

by‐products

from

the

primary

production

of

fish

are referred to as integrated systems. If the

secondary crops are aquatic or terrestrial plants

grown in conjunction with fish, this is an integrated aquaponic system.




Advantages of

Aquaponic and

Hydroponic

Farming

• Conservation through constant water reuse and recycling.

• Uses approximately

2%

(aquaponics)

– 15%

(hydroponics)

of

the

water

that

a conventionally irrigated farm requires

• Organic fertilization of plants with natural fish emulsion.

• The elimination of solid waste disposal from intensive aquaculture.

• The reduction of needed cropland to produce crops – no soil needed.

• The overall reduction of the environmental footprint of crop production.

• Building small efficient commercial installations near markets reduces

“food miles”.

• Reduction of pathogens that often plague aquaculture production systems.

• Reduction of erosion by eliminating the need to plough the soil.

• Combines fish farming with soil‐less plant growing to create a sustainable

ecosystem

that

generates

food.www.globalcongroup.com
