Gueve Farm will be engage into small scale livestock ranching/pastoral farming with livestock species like goat, cow (mainly local or what we called country cow), sheep and pig. We believe livestock integration will boost food productivity and soil fertility owing to its synergistic benefits.
Fish has been an important component of our diet here in Liberia, but we haven’t been able to effectively engage into pisciculture activities. We also intend to ensure a constant supply of fresh water aquatic species for consumption. We have a suitable environment with good source of high-quality water to support our intention.
Many people think that the only way to find and sell snail is by going to the bush during the rainy season to pick these animals. This is not true. We believe that heliciculture or snail farming can be an excellent way to meet the demand for snail meat on our market. Currently a significant percentage of the snail supplied to our local markets are picked from the forest which is unsustainable. With the favorable habitat at Gueve Farm, the clear-cut opportunity and low risk involve, we intend to engage into snail farming at a larger scale.
