In just over a year, Manderly Agriculture has transformed 1,000 m² of barren land in Sal into a solar-powered farm producing over 300 kg of fresh, premium crops weekly. We have created 5 local jobs, with 60% held by women, and reduced food imports by supplying more than 90% of the island’s demand for gourmet produce. Our innovative use of recycled water and clean energy demonstrates that sustainable agriculture is not only possible but thriving in arid island conditions.
