SAGIPBUKID ACTIVITIES
For farmers & households, SAGIPBUKID offers simple affordable biotechnologies that can convert biodegradable kitchen/garden; and farm wastes (crop residue & livestock manure) into improved biofertilizers for crop & ornamentals use. No need for expensive equipment & electricity. Requires only drum for kitchen; and small lot for LGU MRF composting. Farm waste is converted to biofertilizer on-farm/on-site, for own use or for sale to commercial biofertilizer producers.

Agricultural coops and rural enterprises shall be offered technology assistance in converting selected agri crop processing industry & big livestock farm wastes into commercial biofertilizers for crop applications- to supplement the small farmers' on-farm produced biofertilizer.
Commercial production capital requires land, composting/work shed, payloader, bag closer, and other tools; while working capital requires labor, plastic sheets, sacks, inoculant, organic wastes & hauling cost, light, water, marketing, and management.
All types of compost (vermi, etc) produced by the community shall be enriched to high value biofertilizers.
Biogas plants are supplied with methanogens for quick (about 72 hours) conversion of organic materials to methane.

Song lyrics>
What about sunrise? What about rain? What about all the things that you said we were to gain… What about killing fields? Is there a time? What about all the things that you said was yours and mine…
Did you ever stop to notice all the blood we’ve shed before? Did you ever stop to notice the crying Earth, the weeping shores?
What have we done to the world? Look what we’ve done. What about all the peace that you pledge your only son… What about flowering fields? Is there a time? What about all the dreams that you said was yours and mine…
Did you ever stop to notice all the children dead from war? Did you ever stop to notice the crying Earth, the weeping shores?
I used to dream… I used to glance beyond the stars. Now I don’t know where we are although I know we’ve drifted far. Hey, what about yesterday? What about the seas? The heavens are falling down I can’t even breathe. What about the bleeding Earth? Can’t we feel its wounds? What about nature’s worth? It’s our planet’s womb.
What about animals? We’ve turned kingdoms to dust. What about elephants? Have we lost their trust?
What about crying whales? We’re ravaging the seas. What about forest trails? Burnt despite our pleas. What about the holy land? Torn apart by creed. What about the common man? Can’t we set him free? What about children dying? Can’t you hear them cry?
Where did we go wrong? Someone tell me why. What about babies? What about the days? What about all their joy? What about the man? What about the crying man? What about Abraham? What about death again?
Do we give a damn?
