Rubagabaga Off-Grid Hydropower With over a century of global experience Landustrie has become a leading player in the field of water and wastewater management. Our basis was laid around 1913. The company was active in the agricultural market sector and involved with polder drainage at an early stage. As early as 1916 electrically driven pumping stations were installed with Archimedean screw pumps, together with the countless pumping stations with so-called wind motors. After some time, in addition to the polder drainage pumps, pumps for handling sewage were developed. By the 1950's this advance opened the way to wastewater purification units being used widely and efficiently. Also research, development and innovation are very important to keep ahead in the present water market. During the demonstration project, a small hydropower jack will be installed at the designated location where there is no electricity grid (off-grid). For a year, the hydro power jack wants to run. During this period, all variables (flow, pollution, decay, energy generation, maintenance, etc.) will be determined.
Vegetable and potato seeds platform In recent years, the horticulture industry in Tanzania has gained popularity attracting a large number of investments, development partners, projects and recognition from the Government based on its potential to improve livelihoods, significant contribution to the country's economy, create employment opportunities and improve food security. Despite the recognition, the stakeholders in the horticulture industry in Tanzania are not well coordinated and most of the organizations implementing horticulture projects and activities are working in silos leading to duplication of efforts, waste of resources and time that could have been better utilized in other areas. Besides that, there are also many bottlenecks that blocks the development of the seed sector. To contribute to a solution to those problems a Tanzania Horticulture and Potato Seed Platform (THPSP) consisting out of a consortium of prominent horticulture actors in Tanzania will be set-up during this project. Within this platform different actors will join forces to address prevailing issues hindering the growth and sustainability of the horticulture industry through collaborative approach focusing on increasing access to quality horticulture seed and seed potatoes multiplication for sustainable farming in Tanzania.
