Our Eco-Village Solution

'Our eco-village solution' is Push Local Venture's flagship product offering. It is a co-operative living plug and play education and social enterprise development facility promoting a central localised trading hub, peace building, global citizenship and sustainability (economic, social, environmental). Each eco-village is centered around the heritage, teachings and history of the indigenous Khoi and San of Southern Africa. The eco-villages function on a permaculture model, are naturally constructed, produce minimum waste and utilise renewable energy supply. Fundamentally, the eco-system of each village has a local economic development strategy built into it that allows the region to be be plugged into the supply chain of the major GDP sectors in a specific country/area. In addition, the economic strategy ensures that the locally producing supply chain is integrated into the global trade market. There are 8 core units on each eco-village that can be adapted based on the needs of the community we co-create with. 7 of the units are profit based sectors that generate profit for the social impact sector - the social enterprise incubation hub.
