The farm is located on the Wild Coast, in the Eastern Cape Province, which is malaria-free. The project aims to farm holistically, applying techniques of biodynamic and astrological farming to rehabilitate Mpetukop Farm, its soil and its unique ecosystem. In keeping with these goals, there are both animals and plants on the land, and they are rotated, creating a mutually beneficial ecosystem which supports a diversity of species, with the aim of improving the soil for future generations.
This 8-minute documentary is about Volta Presentation, a small and developing farm in the Volta Region of Ghana that's recognized as one of the only farms in West Africa that practices healthy, sustainable and biodynamic agriculture in its growth and distribution of produce without chemical pesticides.

ABOUT UBUNTU FARM
The farm is run by Greg Mitchell and his wife Sarah – mainly operating as an animal rehabilitation centre for a wide variety of wild African animals – with some animals roaming freely and some in cages. It is a 110 acre farm located on the edge of the spectacular mountains surrounding the town of Badplaas (Bath Farm) in the province of Mpumalanga, South Africa. The farm consists of a lodge that operates as a weekend getaway for city folk, with log cabins to accommodate around 40 people, and a swimming pool.
The farm has crystal clear fresh mountain water and all the basic infrastructure to expand into many projects.
First Phase - Starting in January 2017.
The first phase will focus on foundation building – supporting the existing animal rehabilitation activity while creating new projects to support it. This is normally the hardest part of starting any volunteer programme – but also the most exciting part, where life-long friendships are forged and miracles happen every day.
We need to be very selective in the first phase of volunteers for the creation of a solid platform for all the intended projects to come. While people will be chosen for their specialised skills everyone is expected to help and get involved in all areas of activity, where it may be needed.
We invite volunteers with the following skills to join us:
• Wild Animal care and rehabilitation (Training on the job )
• Lodge and dining room management
• Chef / Cook / Baker
• Farm yard /cows / chickens / eggs /milk / butter /cheese / etc.
• Organic food growers – Farming
• Food processing & preservation/ Bottling / Packaging / Storing
• Seedling cultivation – this is a large part of our new projects
• Mushroom cultivation
• Traditional medicinal herbs and plants – growing and packaging
• Builders and Handymen – Carpenters, Plumbers, Electricians
• Artists / Crafters / Potters / Weavers / Any other specialised skills
• Web skills / IT / Graphic Designers
PLEASE NOTE:
This is NOT a job offer as some have mistakenly seen it, and neither is it a place for people to come live for free, to escape their personal problems. This is an opportunity for those who want to take a few months off from the madness of the world, to come contribute towards building and creating something new and unique in the world – and in the process maybe find their true-self, as is often the case in these situations. We need real skills in people that will not be shy to get their hands dirty.
COST to VOLUNTEERS
Unfortunately we cannot afford to feed and house everyone at our own cost – so we have made it as affordable as possible for everyone, especially for those using currencies like the US$, EURO or GBP. By becoming a volunteer in this project, you will not only help build something unique, but also contribute towards laying the foundations of future sustainable community projects.
Volunteer contribution is $30 per day – For accommodation; three meals per day, coffees and teas – and other basic necessities. Cigarettes, alcohol and other addictions will be for your own account.
APPLICATIONS:

How do small farms, competing against factory farms, gobble up their share of business? The family-run Ekonk Hill Turkey Farm in Connecticut relies on Thanksgiving sales for nearly half of their yearly income, selling high-quality birds raised in a free-range environment. Economics correspondent Paul Solman looks at how small businesses struggle in an economy dominated by big business.

Growing one's own food in urban areas can seem like a far-fetched idea. But not for one Pasadena family.
The Dervaes family has been growing their own food for more than a decade. They've been at the forefront of urban homesteading by growing thousands of pounds of food annually in an average-size backyard.
"I brought the country to the city rather than having to go out to the country," said Jules Dervaes, the man behind the self-sufficient farm he created with his three adult children.
The Dervaes' urban homestead is sustainable and dense. They grow and raise 400 varieties of vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers that amount to about 6,000 pounds of food a year, enough to feed the family with surplus left over to sell. Fresh eggs from chickens round out their diet.
The family-owned city farm is the talk of the town for many local chefs looking to cook up a tasty meal. The family makes roughly $20,000 just from selling their freshly grown produce. They use the money to buy staples that they can't grow like wheat, rice, and oats.
Reporter Val Zavala visits the Dervaes' homestead to find out what inspired Jules Dervaes to go green in the extreme.

Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent. At about 30.2 million km2 (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers six percent of Earth's total surface area and 20.4 percent of its total land area. With 1.1 billion people as of 2013, it accounts for about 15% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagos. It contains 54 fully recognized sovereign states (countries), nine territories and two de facto independent states with limited or no recognition.
Africa's population is the youngest amongst all the continents; the median age in 2012 was 19.7, when the worldwide median age was 30.4.Algeria is Africa's largest country by area, and Nigeria by population. Africa, particularly central Eastern Africa, is widely accepted as the place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great apes), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones that have been dated to around seven million years ago, including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) found in Ethiopia being dated to circa 200,000 years ago. Africa straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones.

South Africa
South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho. South Africa is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 53 million people, is the world's 24th-most populous nation. It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere.
South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

Organic farming
Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control. Depending on whose definition is used, organic farming uses fertilizers and pesticides (which include herbicides, insecticides and fungicides) if they are considered natural (such as bone meal from animals or pyrethrin from flowers), but it excludes or strictly limits the use of various methods (including synthetic petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides; plant growth regulators such as hormones; antibiotic use in livestock; genetically modified organisms; human sewage sludge; and nanomaterials) in pursuit of goals including sustainability, openness, independence, health, and safety.
Organic agricultural methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by many nations, based in large part on the standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), an international umbrella organization for organic farming organizations established in 1972. The USDA definition as of April 1995 is:

Farm
A farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural processes with the primary objective of producing food and other crops; it is the basic facility in food production. The name is used for specialised units such as arable farms, vegetable farms, fruit farms, dairy, pig and poultry farms, and land used for the production of natural fibres, biofuel and other commodities. It includes ranches, feedlots, orchards, plantations and estates, smallholdings and hobby farms, and includes the farmhouse and agricultural buildings as well as the land. In modern times the term has been extended so as to include such industrial operations as wind farms and fish farms, both of which can operate on land or sea.
Farming originated independently in different parts of the world as hunter gatherer societies transitioned to food production rather than food capture. It may have started about 12,000 years ago with the domestication of livestock in the Fertile Crescent in western Asia, soon to be followed by the cultivation of crops. Modern units tend to specialise in the crops or livestock best suited to the region, with their finished products being sold for the retail market or for further processing, with farm products being traded around the world.

Urban Farms
Watch and read more here about Urban Farms: http://bit.ly/1KR4fFs Growing one's own food in urban areas can seem like a far-fetched idea. But not for one Pasadena family. The Dervaes family has been growing their own food for more than a decade. They've been at the forefront of urban homesteading by growing thousands of pounds of food annually in an average-size backyard. "I brought the country to the city rather than having to go out to the country," said Jules Dervaes, the man behind the self-sufficient farm he created with his three adult children. The Dervaes' urban homestead is sustainable and dense. They grow and raise 400 varieties of vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers that amount to about 6,000 pounds of food a year, enough to feed the family with surplus left over to sell....

Announcing the launch of our new volunteer programme for 2017
UBUNTU FARM – South Africa.
Caring for abandoned or injured wild animals - Rehabilitation of wild animals – Maintaining our Lodge - Growing seedlings – Growing organic food – Growing and preserving traditional medicinal plants – Preserving food - Building infrastructure – Teaching and learning Arts & Crafts – Pottery – Weaving – Sewing and more.
Join us for 1 – 3 months
Share your skills with people from the local community
Be a teacher and a learner
Build the foundations for successful and sustainable projects
Create a model for an intentional UBUNTU community
ABOUT UBUNTU FARM
The farm is run by Greg Mitchell and his wife Sarah – mainly operating as an animal rehabilitation centre for a wide variety of wild African animals – with some animals roaming freely and some in cages. It is a 110 acre farm located on the edge of the spectacular mountains surrounding the town of Badplaas (Bath Farm) in the province of Mpumalanga, South Africa. The farm consists of a lodge that operates as a weekend getaway for city folk, with log cabins to accommodate around 40 people, and a swimming pool.
The farm has crystal clear fresh mountain water and all the basic infrastructure to expand into many projects.
First Phase - Starting in January 2017.
The first phase will focus on foundation building – supporting the existing animal rehabilitation activity while creating new projects to support it. This is normally the hardest part of starting any volunteer programme – but also the most exciting part, where life-long friendships are forged and miracles happen every day.
We need to be very selective in the first phase of volunteers for the creation of a solid platform for all the intended projects to come. While people will be chosen for their specialised skills everyone is expected to help and get involved in all areas of activity, where it may be needed.
We invite volunteers with the following skills to join us:
• Wild Animal care and rehabilitation (Training on the job )
• Lodge and dining room management
• Chef / Cook / Baker
• Farm yard /cows / chickens / eggs /milk / butter /cheese / etc.
• Organic food growers – Farming
• Food processing & preservation/ Bottling / Packaging / Storing
• Seedling cultivation – this is a large part of our new projects
• Mushroom cultivation
• Traditional medicinal herbs and plants – growing and packaging
• Builders and Handymen – Carpenters, Plumbers, Electricians
• Artists / Crafters / Potters / Weavers / Any other specialised skills
• Web skills / IT / Graphic Designers
PLEASE NOTE:
This is NOT a job offer as some have mistakenly seen it, and neither is it a place for people to come live for free, to escape their personal problems. This is an opportunity for those who want to take a few months off from the madness of the world, to come contribute towards building and creating something new and unique in the world – and in the process maybe find their true-self, as is often the case in these situations. We need real skills in people that will not be shy to get their hands dirty.
COST to VOLUNTEERS
Unfortunately we cannot afford to feed and house everyone at our own cost – so we have made it as affordable as possible for everyone, especially for those using currencies like the US$, EURO or GBP. By becoming a volunteer in this project, you will not only help build something unique, but also contribute towards laying the foundations of future sustainable community projects.
Volunteer contribution is $30 per day – For accommodation; three meals per day, coffees and teas – and other basic necessities. Cigarettes, alcohol and other addictions will be for your own account.

Growing one's own food in urban areas can seem like a far-fetched idea. But not for one Pasadena family.
The Dervaes family has been growing their own food for more than a decade. They've been at the forefront of urban homesteading by growing thousands of pounds of food annually in an average-size backyard.
"I brought the country to the city rather than having to go out to the country," said Jules Dervaes, the man behind the self-sufficient farm he created with his three adult children.
The Dervaes' urban homestead is sustainable and dense. They grow and raise 400 varieties of vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers that amount to about 6,000 pounds of food a year, enough to feed the family with surplus left over to sell. Fresh eggs from chickens round out their diet.
The family-owned city farm is the talk of the town for many local chefs looking to cook up a tasty meal. The family makes roughly $20,000 just from selling their freshly grown produce. They use the money to buy staples that they can't grow like wheat, rice, and oats.
Reporter Val Zavala visits the Dervaes' homestead to find out what inspired Jules Dervaes to go green in the extreme.

Fairtrade Africa is a group making sure African coffee bean farmers earn a fair income for helping homes around the world brew the perfect cup of coffee. In this short film GLP Films visits Fairtrade Africa as they work in the interest of farmers and fair trade-certified producers in Africa, helping them connect to consumers worldwide.
Their unique partnership with Kilimanjaro Native Cooperative Union (KNCU) coffee farmers, on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, has resulted in community development projects that seek to empower and make a positive difference in the local community.
Fairtrade Africa makes a significant impact on the lives of farmers; through fair trade, families earn enough money to give their children an education, obtain medical care, and live their lives with dignity.

Volunteering in South Africa: Organic Farming
The farm is located on the Wild Coast, in the Eastern Cape Province, which is malaria-free. The project aims to farm holistically, applying techniques of biodynamic and astrological farming to rehabilitate Mpetukop Farm, its soil and its unique ecosystem. In keeping with these goals, there are both animals and plants on the land, and they are rotated, creating a mutually beneficial ecosystem which supports a diversity of species, with the aim of improving the soil for future generations.

Create a model for an intentional UBUNTU community
ABOUT UBUNTU FARM
The farm is run by Greg Mitchell and his wife Sarah – mainly operating as an animal rehabilitation centre for a wide variety of wild African animals – with some animals roaming freely and some in cages. It is a 110 acre farm located on the edge of the spectacular mountains surrounding the town of Badplaas (Bath Farm) in the province of Mpumalanga, South Africa. The farm consists of a lodge that operates as a weekend getaway for city folk, with log cabins to accommodate around 40 people, and a swimming pool.
The farm has crystal clear fresh mountain water and all the basic infrastructure to expand into many projects.
First Phase - Starting in January 2017.
The first phase will focus on foundation building – supporting the existing animal rehabilitation activity while creating new projects to support it. This is normally the hardest part of starting any volunteer programme – but also the most exciting part, where life-long friendships are forged and miracles happen every day.
We need to be very selective in the first phase of volunteers for the creation of a solid platform for all the intended projects to come. While people will be chosen for their specialised skills everyone is expected to help and get involved in all areas of activity, where it may be needed.
We invite volunteers with the following skills to join us:
• Wild Animal care and rehabilitation (Training on the job )
• Lodge and dining room management
• Chef / Cook / Baker
• Farm yard /cows / chickens / eggs /milk / butter /cheese / etc.
• Organic food growers – Farming
• Food processing & preservation/ Bottling / Packaging / Storing
• Seedling cultivation – this is a large part of our new projects
• Mushroom cultivation
• Traditional medicinal herbs and plants – growing and packaging
• Builders and Handymen – Carpenters, Plumbers, Electricians
• Artists / Crafters / Potters / Weavers / Any other specialised skills
• Web skills / IT / Graphic Designers
PLEASE NOTE:
This is NOT a job offer as some have mistakenly seen it, and neither is it a place for people to come live for free, to escape their personal problems. This is an opportunity for those who want to take a few months off from the madness of the world, to come contribute towards building and creating something new and unique in the world – and in the process maybe find their true-self, as is often the case in these situations. We need real skills in people that will not be shy to get their hands dirty.
COST to VOLUNTEERS
Unfortunately we cannot afford to feed and house everyone at our own cost – so we have made it as affordable as possible for everyone, especially for those using currencies like the US$, EURO or GBP. By becoming a volunteer in this project, you will not only help build something unique, but also contribute towards laying the foundations of future sustainable community projects.
Volunteer contribution is $30 per day – For accommodation; three meals per day, coffees and teas – and other basic necessities. Cigarettes, alcohol and other addictions will be for your own account.
APPLICATIONS:

• Rock climbing – abseiling - Waterval Boven is one of the top 10 rock climbing destinations in the world with more than 700 climbing routes in the immediate area.
• Great mountain biking and hiking routes.
• Mpumalanga has much to offer the tourist – the Kruger National Park,
• Sudwala and Echo Caves, God's Window and the Blyde River Canyon, and much more.
• The KZN Indian Ocean Coastline is a 4 hour drive
• The awesome coastline of Mozambique is a short 2 hours away.
In unity and resonance,

Living Land - Episode 24: Meet a group of enterprising farmers
In this episode we meet a group of enterprising farmers that have made remarkable progress in a short period – so much so that their farm is used as a benchmark to teach other start-up Nguni cattle farmers. The Khuduthathe & Kgolagano Cooperative lease land from the Royal Bafokeng tribe. In 2012 they successfully applied to participate in a national Nguni cattle development project, and became the beneficiaries of 58 cows and one bull. The herd has grown significantly since then, and this project has proven to be hugely successful because of the willingness of the members to work hard, to make sacrifices, and to accept advice from extension officers. We also visit a fascinating Peppadew project in Limpopo Province. This uniquely South African plant produces fruit that are in high demand...

Kuapa Ghana - Quality Certified Seeds
As part of effort to upscale technologies promoted by IFDC's Feed the Future Ghana Agricultural Technology Transfer project and tell the success story of the project, Modern Africa Production (MAP) worked with the project technical team to produce and telecast segments of the Kuapa Television on-farm reality show. “Kuapa” (meaning “good farming” in the Akan language) TV programs reach over one million smallholder farmer viewers of Ghana’s most-watched GTV network. To begin with, two episodes on seed value chain and the UDP under maize cultivation have been produced. The seed value chain subject for instance will feature most of the actors (seed processors, producers and growers) and institutions (SARI and GSIU) the project’s activities has impacted.

Tech Talk with Tolaro: Developing the Cashew Industry in Benin
More than 40 percent of the world's cashew nuts are grown in West Africa but more than 90 percent of the crop is exported without any value addition such as shelling, roasting, seasoning, and packaging. Benin's exporters and smallholder growers are missing out on significant value added income that would result from in-country processing. Tolaro is establishing an organic and Fair Trade certified cashew roasting, seasoning, and packaging plant to sell retail quality cashews to international markets.

The Dark Side Of Chocolate 2010 Full Documentry
The Dark Side of Chocolate is a 2010 documentary film about the exploitation and slavetrading of African children to harvest chocolate still occurring nearly ten years after the cocoa industry pledged to end it. Cocoa plantations in Ghana and the Ivory Coast provide 80% of the world with chocolate, according to CorpWatch. Chocolate producers around the world have been pressured to "verify that their chocolate is not the product of child labor or slavery. In 2000, BBC aired Slavery: A Global Investigation which brought the issue of child labor in the cooca industry to light. In 2001, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association and its members signed a document that prohibited child trafficking and labor in the cocoa industry after 2008. Despite this effort, numerous children are still forced to...

In this episode we meet a group of enterprising farmers that have made remarkable progress in a short period – so much so that their farm is used as a benchmark to teach other start-up Nguni cattle farmers.
The Khuduthathe & Kgolagano Cooperative lease land from the Royal Bafokeng tribe. In 2012 they successfully applied to participate in a national Nguni cattle development project, and became the beneficiaries of 58 cows and one bull.
The herd has grown significantly since then, and this project has proven to be hugely successful because of the willingness of the members to work hard, to make sacrifices, and to accept advice from extension officers. We also visit a fascinating Peppadew project in Limpopo Province.
This uniquely South African plant produces fruit that are in high demand on the international market. The cultivation of these plants is strictly controlled by the company that owns the international rights for the product.
About 80 farmers are contracted as growers and share in the phenomenal international success.

As part of effort to upscale technologies promoted by IFDC's Feed the Future Ghana Agricultural Technology Transfer project and tell the success story of the project, Modern Africa Production (MAP) worked with the project technical team to produce and telecast segments of the Kuapa Television on-farm reality show. “Kuapa” (meaning “good farming” in the Akan language) TV programs reach over one million smallholder farmer viewers of Ghana’s most-watched GTV network. To begin with, two episodes on seed value chain and the UDP under maize cultivation have been produced. The seed value chain subject for instance will feature most of the actors (seed processors, producers and growers) and institutions (SARI and GSIU) the project’s activities has impacted.

More than 40 percent of the world's cashew nuts are grown in West Africa but more than 90 percent of the crop is exported without any value addition such as shelling, roasting, seasoning, and packaging. Benin's exporters and smallholder growers are missing out on significant value added income that would result from in-country processing. Tolaro is establishing an organic and Fair Trade certified cashew roasting, seasoning, and packaging plant to sell retail quality cashews to international markets.

The Dark Side of Chocolate is a 2010 documentary film about the exploitation and slavetrading of African children to harvest chocolate still occurring nearly ten years after the cocoa industry pledged to end it. Cocoa plantations in Ghana and the Ivory Coast provide 80% of the world with chocolate, according to CorpWatch. Chocolate producers around the world have been pressured to "verify that their chocolate is not the product of child labor or slavery. In 2000, BBC aired Slavery: A Global Investigation which brought the issue of child labor in the cooca industry to light. In 2001, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association and its members signed a document that prohibited child trafficking and labor in the cocoa industry after 2008. Despite this effort, numerous children are still forced to work on cocoa plantations in Africa. In 2009, Mars and Cadbury joined the Rainforest Alliance to fight against child labor. By 2020, these major chocolate manufacturers hope to completely eradicate child labor on any plantations from which they purchase their cocoa.
Production
The Dark Side of Chocolate was produced by Danish journalist Miki Mistrati who investigated the use of child labor and trafficked children in chocolate production. It is filmed by U. Roberto Romano.The filming started in Germany, where Mistrati asked vendors where their chocolate comes from. They then flew to Mali, where many of the children are from. Next, they explored the Ivory Coast where the cocoa plantations are located. The film ends in Switzerland where both the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Nestle headquarters are located. Much of the footage in this documentary is recorded using a secret camera located in a bag Mistrati carries with him. The documentary was released in 2010, first in Denmark, and later in Sweden, Ireland, Belgium, and Norway
Synopsis
In 2001, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association formed an action plan entitled the Harkin-Engel Protocol that would aim to end the worse forms of child trafficking and slave labor.[9] However, child trafficking still continued in countries in West Africa. Authorities and companies denied it happened. Due to this conflicting outlook, the filmmakers went undercover to discover the truth. The film starts with its two filmmakers investigating independently by journeying to the western coast of Africa to the country of Mali, the country where children were rumored to be smuggled from and then transported to the Ivory Coast.[10] The team of journalists aimed to investigate human trafficking and child labor in the Ivory Coast and its effects on the worldwide chocolate industry. The documentary starts in Cologne, Germany where Mistrati asks each vendor at a gathering of chocolate makers where their chocolate is imported from. Their responses lead to the conclusion that almost all chocolate is imported from somewhere in Africa. Their detective work lead them to find that people in Mali were trafficking children at bus stations by bribing them with work and money, or by kidnapping them from villages. Afterward, they are taken to towns near the border such as Zegoua, where another trafficker transports the children over the border on a dirt-bike. Then they are left with a third trafficker who sells the children to plantations. The children, ranging in age from 10 to 15, are forced to do hard labor, physically abused, and paid poor wages, or none at all. Most of them stay with the plantation until they die, never seeing their families again. Child labor and trafficking is illegal according to the Harkin-Engel Protocol, an agreement that was signed by all major chocolate companies promising not to harvest their cocoa beans through means of child workers. When confronted with this issue, the corporate representatives of some of these companies denied all rumors of child labor and trafficking, but the investigations of the filmmakers proved brought to light the continued abuse of children on cocoa plantations.
