>>
>> What i can contribute to your document is about the supply of food items.

>>
>> First, it will have to be connected to the specific nutritional needs of
>> the specific client families of this project. If you will consult with a
>> nutritionist, you will find that the families will have a specific set of
>> nutrient deficiencies.
>>
>> And having this information, there will have to be a farm design and plan
>> to produce the food for the restaurant. This, then may have to be under a
>> production contract with a farmer group.
>>
>> During harvest, the project will also need a food processing station, in
>> which the food harvest may be dried, dehydrated, milled and stored, what
>> ever is necessary.
>>
>> It is in this food bank, that the restaurant may draw the food supply for
>> the restaurant. ( I have a project concept about the village food bank
>> somewhere in my library, i will have to search it  if you are interested)
>>
>> From here on, the appropriate stove design will be relevant.
>>
>> And to continue, the waste from the restaurant may then be converted to
>> fertilizer to fertilize the gardens.
>>
>> So there is the complete loop that i can suggest.
>>
>> Therefore the rural restaurant will also create jobs for gardeners,
>> farmers, cooks, food processors, managers, and consulting nutritionist,
>> farm designers (permaculturist is best) as well as stove artisans.
>>
>> I have some other projects on solar dryers and food dehydrators. If this
>> interests you, i can send you some drawings and short descriptions in the
>> next mail.
>>
>> all the best to your project.
