CelAgrid has developed systems of which livestock is the epi-centre for farming systems. Bio-digester was also important part of recycling manure and waste. After visiting activities at the centre, a discussion was organized to get their feedback A case study either using land for water spinach production for animal feeding or rice production was put into the discussion allowed participants to pass the messages to farmers when they returned home. Using land to grow water spinach for pig feeding had as much as 10 times profitable as compare with rice production. This would mean the land close to the house is suitable for water spinach production as it is manageable and less work to cut and carry.
