WHERE FARMING AND WELFARE MEET FOR A BETTER SOUTH AFRICA
Welcome to Farmwel, the place where sustainable agriculture and welfare comes together with the purpose of helping underprivileged communities with basic needs.
It is our dream to establish Hydroponic Welfare Farms throughout South Africa and with our partners (you), we can make South Africa a better place!
WHAT IS A WELFARE FARM

- Owned by the sponsor and managed by Farmwel
THE BENEFITS
- Reduce and eliminate poverty
- Empowered welfare

WHY HYDROPONIC FARMING
Use less land
Use up to 90% less water
Farms are more scalable to meet growing needs
3-10 times higher yields than conventional farming
Urban Farms can be setup in a variety of different structures close to the consumer, eliminating expensive transport and storage costs.
Grow healthy produce in a sustainable environment with produce not affected by adverse weather conditions i.e. severe heat, drought, hail, etc.
