This short film by John Harrison shows how Irno Pretto Farm in Brazil was transformed by introducing the Integrated Farming and Waste Management System (IFWMS) developed by George Chan of the ZERI Foundation (www.zeri.org).
Productivity and biodiversity were increased while generating energy, reducing waste and eliminating pollution. Duration : 0:10:4
Good topical … Good topical question — no swine flu here — the whole point is that when animal wastes are treated properly — as in this process, there is no breeding ground for bacteria. And the slurry is transformed from smelly toxic waste into fertiliser, algae (food), and energy.
Very nice farm. … Very nice farm. Pigs seem calm can tell their treated well. Almost seems to easy. I am going to talk my dad into that system, seems to be the cheapest and best way to handle the manure we got the lagoon. how big are those digester tanks and how many sows is it for. We need it bigger we got 2500 sows
There were … There were initially 160-250 sows. The two 50 cubic metre biodigesters (anaerobic digesters) treat slurry and produce biogas. This allowed conversion of slurry lagoons to growing algae and fish. Elimination of waste allowed expansion of pig population to 400.
well it would be a … well it would be a big investment but will surely pay off…. If you have 2500 sow level farm I think that would be great…. I wish all pig farms could be like this….
that is why get of … that is why get of pig flu now

sounds like a ” …
sounds like a “Happy Pig Farm”
Excellent example …
Excellent example of a sustainable farming and waste management system.
