AGRI VILLAGE
The ROOTS DEVELOPMENT also boasts the new concept of 62 Agricultural Empowerment plots. In conjunction with the ROOTS COLLEGE, young and upcoming farmers will be trained to farm more intensively and sustainably. This is the future of Agriculture in Namibia! Our objectives are aligned with the Vision 2030 of Namibia, as well as the Harambee Prosperity Plan, encouraging us to transform and enhance the lives of Namibians through agriculture and education.
Each plot will be approximately 10 hectares in size, and plot owners have the option to add the following infrastructure to give training and experience in different types of agriculture, namely; permanent crops, cash crops and livestock.

An upgradable one-bedroom house, with one bathroom, a living area and a storeroom. This house can be extended at a later stage, as the need arises.

4. Greenhouse
One 500m2 (Five Hundred Square Metre) greenhouse with irrigation will be erected on each plot. The type of crop may vary, and is decided between the owner and developer based on the market requirement and off-take opportunities at the time of investment.
