The project aims to contribute to food security in Burundi. To this end, a water and energy self-sufficient raised bed is being adapted to the conditions in Burundi - it was developed and tested together with the State School of Horticulture in Stuttgart-Hohenheim. The partners in Burundi are the NGO EAE and the "Institut Technique Agricole ITAB Gihanga" - two raised beds are being set up there for test purposes and one at a farmers' cooperative near the school. The raised bed enables three harvests a year in a limited space without additional input of water and energy and can be used as a food supplement but also for the production of market vegetables. There is interest from the Burundian side in urban gardening with the raised beds.
