Anchor project

The abattoir as an organising system

The proposal sees the abattoir as the centre of the livestock chain: purchase planning, reception and inspection, processing, manufacturing, cold storage and distribution to the consumer.

Pending validation

Its operating capacity, legal status and sanitary conditions must be verified before any decision.

Sustainable production

Aquaponics: fish and crops in one loop

Fish waste, transformed by bacteria, feeds the plants; the plants clean the water that returns to the tanks. The proposal includes pilot modules and operator training.

River logistics

The Orinoco as a connecting route

The river, roads and collection centres can form a network to move inputs and products. Any route, transit time or capacity will only be published with verifiable technical studies and permits.
