urban farmig: Setting up a DIT hydroponics unit
Agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa has been delayed by the youth for several reasons including the lack of mechanization, the hardship of the work...
Food crops have given way to export crops such as coffee, cocoa, rubber, etc
In addition to the transmission of know-how, it's a question of discovering a new attractive, alternative ecological method
Setting up a DIT hydroponics unit
The objective of this workshop is to manufacture devices to facilitate hydroponics farming.
More simply, through equipment such as PVC pipes, we can produce on small surfaces and with high efficiency.
In vertical hydropic culture, we can produce more than fifty of lettuce for example against a foot of lettuce in traditional culture.
Through this workshop, we will show step-by-step to the participants how they can make their own system that can work anywhere.
They will just need the following
1.5-liter plastic water bottles (recycled)
Plastic coffee cups (recycled)
PVC pipe (with Elbows for connection and junction)
A water pump with piping (see aquarium pumps)
Metal (square tube 35) - NB: if you don't, you can take wood or bamboo or any other solution that can serve as support.
Angle iron (45) - NB: if you don't have it, you can take wood or bamboo or any other solution that can serve as a support.
Wood: rulers, cleats.
clay balls
Coco fiber
Salad sowing (or any suitable crop)
Koffi Dodji Honou's participation at re:publica 23 is kindly made possible by the Robert Bosch Foundation.

We want to share them with you and have creative instructions on how to upcycle them. Our “hedgehogs” are a reminder of the war and the power of culture to bring about positive change.

There are vast networks of fungi under our feet that have existed for thousands of years; some stretch for thousands of kilometres, connecting trees, plants and other life together in an entangled mesh of mutual support and care. What if our digital social platforms were more like fungi networks?
