Green Earth Concepts - Introduction

Mission Statement:

Green Earth Concepts will develop skills, jobs, and environmental awareness

in the field of organic recycling and agricultural production. The goal of the

company is to relieve hunger and create employment by providing means to

enhance permaculture and organic food production. Incorporating mulch and

compost as a primary carbon credit, the objective is to recycle and reuse

organic refuse in accordance with the National Waste Minimisation Standards.

The intention is to train all South African citizens about the sustainability of

organic food production. Professional horticulturists and agronomists that

develop products and skills development methods to promote job creation and

implement the capacity to successfully train and develop emerging farmers.

The target market is any entity that generates organic refuse. The agricultural

industry as a whole can benefit from the implementation of green waste

recycling for enhanced small holding crop production, and the sequestration

of carbon in accordance with the standards set forth in the United Nations

Framework for Carbon Credits. The primary mission is recycling organic

material for use as soil conditioners that will produce nutritious crops and

enhance food security as a whole.

Gina Shoemaker, Managing Director

Gina has over 25 years of agricultural and horticultural

experience as well as several certifications in lawn and

ornamental landscaping, Organic Gardening and Food

Security, and an International Pesticide Liscence. She

currently serves as a climate reality ambassador for former

U.S Vice President, Al Gore. Relocating from The United

States to South Africa in 2003, Gina’s first project in South

Africa was the development of The Panorama Composting

Plant, which recycled over 10,000 tons of organic waste on a

daily basis and developing a large scale aerobic composting

operation and a client base to match. Since 2003, Gina has

implemented many organic farming schemes and developed

the commercial worm farm operation which generates organic

fertilizer for any size waste generator . Farmers have taken

an interest in the commercial worm farms whilst realizing that

it is less expensive to grow organic crops. The organic waste

solution has been implemented in over 200 successful

operations in South Africa.

Why grow your own Food?

Food Prices have increased by 200% in the past decade

Green House Gases have a direct impact on food production

Most Vegetable Production is not organic, harmful leachates by

synthetic fertilizers pollute the ground water and kill micro-organisms

in the soil
