Beit Farms (Coconut Husk Initiative)
my pitch is solving clean water and sanitation,
Crop protection problems associated with soilborne pathogens and environmental regulations against groundwater pollution with nitrate and pesticides
Avoiding the use of plastic for nursery activities
Will help solve flooding , waste management, keep soil nutrients, Create jobs , help sanitation and clean water.
30 million people affected, is country wide concern
Annual Flooding contribute to lost of lives and property due to poor waste management systems .
Coconut husk is second contributor to flooding in Ghana aside plastic
Collection of the husk is a big problem ,
Processing machines ,
Packaging of processed husk
Creating awareness and Capacity Building among all farmers and citizens on coconut waste
my solution helps flood management
Help greenhouse farming activities
Helps nursery activities
Help soil nutrients
Help create jobs for the youth
Help climate change
Help clean water and sanitation
my solution will help the country avoid the use of plastic for nursery, farming and greenhouse activities
It will help the country reduce flooding disasters
Help create decent jobs for the youth
Sanitation and clean water for all
Will add nutrients to the soil
- Scale practices and incentives for larger farmers and ranchers to decrease carbon emissions, land-use change, nutrient runoff, or water pollution
with my solution, I’m collecting all coconut husk generated in the cities daily by coconut sellers , which is causing flooding , and sanitation problems even our water bodies , I’m using the collected husk for nursery activities which I leave some to decompose, I process some into a quality soilless planting medium for greenhouse and household garden activities, biodegradable pots design from the husk for nursery activities, nutrients in coconut husks / waste are good for the soil , low water retention, disease free , ready to use , no plastic, create jobs
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model
- A new business model or process
coconut waste / Husk will be use for nursery activities, will processed into quality soilless planting medium for greenhouse, household farming activities. Will reduce flooding , help sanitation and clean water for all and even create decent jobs
biodegradable pot for nursery, soilless planting medium (product)
million of nursery and seeding companies uses plastic for their activities. This is will change the way
- Big Data
- Biotechnology / Bioengineering
- Imaging and Sensor Technology
- Manufacturing Technology
- Materials Science
- Robotics and Drones
I want my country to avoid the use of plastic in nursery, seeding , farming , greenhouse and holding garden activities. But rather use coconut waste/husk and the biodegradable pots I will make , also Use social media to create awareness on my activities,
This is beneficial to the whole country

to get more technology support to expand my operational and production activities
Maintenance support
Packaging and storage support and more over help get awareness on the use of plastic and also disposal of coconut husks indiscriminately
All relevant organizations around the world
our innovative initiative is a global concern, we will our initiative to affect livelihoods positively , do business, expand , and reach out to all refugees with hunger issues because our initiative will boost food production at the greenhouse farming , increase seeds production for farmers , reduce flooding , help get clean water
we empower women in agriculture with our initiative through rural women empowerment, Capacity Building training on avoiding use of plastic for farming activities, use of harmful chemicals into our soil nutrients, we have over 8000+ women , well organized women’s across the country due to our voluntary capacity building training
the implementation of biodegradable pots for nursery, seeding and greenhouse activities with coconut husk is innovative and more technological for this award
