2. Potential new movable hydro self-driven pivot point (no electricity needed) for arable fields.
3. Business opportunity and or liaison with local Bee farmers to extract honey and beeswax, as the orchards blooming flowers giving a unique flavour and taste to the honey and to the beeswax quality. As the bees form a critical part in the pollination of all the flora on the farm and orchard.
4. Aquaponics gives the unique opportunity in cultivating and selling of organic fish to the local market.
