Following the devastating effects of war,the province of Cuanza Sul is helping its people get back on their feet by pioneering innovative new farming projects,among which the Aldeia Nova project-which literally translates as "new farm"-is the most important.
Carried out in cooperation with the Angolan government ,the Aldeia Nova project aims to help ease the social reintegration of ex-fighters from both sides of Angolan civil war by providing them with a peaceful and sustainable means to earn a livelihood.
The two main production areas of the project are eggs and milk,and 15 sites are currently being used.For eggs,for example,farmers are provided with everything they need (Chickens,feed, supplies) and once the eggs are ready,the Aldela nova corporation purchases the eggs form the farmers.For milk ,the process is very similar,except that there is also a processing factory where the milk is transformed into yogurt,butter,cheese,and other dairy products.
