WHAT IS THE SAITIC PROJECT?

'SAITIC' IS AN ACRONYM  FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IN THE INNER CITY. IT IS A BYPRODUCT OF IDEALS OF COL. ALLENSWORTH WHO ESCAPED FROM SLAVERY DURING THE CIVIL WAR TO FIGHT FOR HIS FREEDOM AS A UNION SOLIDER. HE WAS INSPIRED  BY THE IDEA OF ESTABLISHING A SELF SUFFICIENT, ALL BLACK CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY WHERE AFRICANS IN AMERICA COULD LIVE FREE OF THE RACIAL HATRED THAT WAS AMERICA'S ORIGINAL SIN. HIS DREAM WAS TO BUILD A SPACE IN WHICH AFRICAN DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES MIGHT LIVE AND CREATE OUR SOCIETY OF THE FUTURE, A BLACK LAND. WE ACKNOWLEDGE WITH HONOR AND ACTION THAT WE ARE THE DREAMS OF OUR ANCESTORS.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

THE ENERGY OF THE SUN, THE FREQUENCY OF OUR ANCESTORS AND THE VIBRATION OF LOVE IS HOW WE GET STARTED. INNERSTANDING THAT NOTHING IS NEW UNDER THE SUN WE REACH BACK IN THE SPIRIT OF SANKOFA TO RETRIEVE THE KNOWLEDGE CULTIVATED AMONG THE SAIS PEOPLE OF ANCIENT KEMET. THE PEOPLE OF SAIS GREW THEIR CROPS ALONG THE BANKS OF THE NILE RIVER ON THE RICH BLACK SOIL, ALSO KNOWN AS KEMET WHICH WAS LEFT BEHIND AFTER THE YEARLY FLOODS. THE FERTILE SOIL WAS IDEAL TO GROW HEALTHY CROPS. THIS INFORMATION IS KEY IN EVOLVING OUR CURRENT SITUATION IN NORTH AMERICA, IT WILL ONLY WORK IF WE GET OUR HANDS DIRTY AND ACQUIRE LAND TO CREATE SOVEREIGN SITUATIONS THAT PUT US FRONT AND CENTER IN DEFINING OUR OWN DESTINY.

WHAT IS THE GOAL?

AQUAPONICS REFERS TO ANY SYSTEM THAT COMBINES CONVENTIONAL AQUACULTURE (raising aquatic animals such as  fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) WITH HYDROPONICS  (cultivating plants in water) IN A SYMBIOTIC ENVIRONMENT. 

 

COMPLETING THIS SYSTEM  WILL PROVIDE MAXIMUM GROWTH AS WELL AS ESTABLISHING A GREEN HOUSE THAT WILL PROVIDE YEAR AROUND PROPAGATION. THE END GOAL IS TO DEVELOP A SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM THAT WILL OFFER THE COMMUNITY NOT ONLY A EDUCATIONAL SPACE BUT, A CENTER THAT PROMOTES ENTREPRENEURIAL ENTERPRISE.
