Nxazonke: Circles of Urban Agriculture enterprise Development
This book contains an enterprise development model for urban agriculture. To make a small-scale urban agricultural enterprise viable, we need to consider the fundamental profit-profile or -opportunity of such an enterprise. A small urban farmer and retailer has opportunity to sell at the highest possible retail price, based on the lowest possible cost of production. The key opportunity is to produce low volumes of high-quality foods at very low cost, in extreme proximity to the end customer. This produce must be sold at highest retail value, as relative production volumes will be low. This profit profile is enhanced by instituting a system low cost biological production, integrated with urban waste harvesting. Furthermore, a retail enterprise development model for urban agriculture is also presented, that integrates social engagement strategies in is operations. Selling almost-zero cost produce at highest retail value enables a profitable venture and completes the profit equation.
