Drip-by-Drip, Food For Angola

"An Israeli company is using the latest water-saving technology to grow fruit and vegetables in Angola, which imports much of its food after 27 years of civil war."

"Terra Verde [is] a 45-hectare farm outside the capital Luanda.

The farm was set up at the end of the war in 2002 and has been harvesting tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, mangoes, melons and grapes for three years.

In fact, the farm produces 35 tonnes of vegetables every week of the year..."

"The company has built its own pumping station 6km away on the banks of the River Bengo to ensure that its drip-irrigation system, where plants are fed water and fertilizer drip by drip through ground level pipes, would never run dry."
