2 Gina Shoemaker, Managing Director Gina has over 25 years of agricultural and horticultural experience as well as several certifications in lawn and ornamental landscaping, Organic Gardening and Food Security, and an International Pesticide Liscence. She currently serves as a climate reality ambassador for former U.S Vice President, Al Gore. Relocating from The United States to South Africa in 2003, Gina s first project in South Africa was the development of The Panorama Composting Plant, which recycled over 10,000 tons of organic waste on a daily basis and developing a large scale aerobic composting operation and a client base to match. Since 2003, Gina has implemented many organic farming schemes and developed the commercial worm farm operation which generates organic fertilizer for any size waste generator. Farmers have taken an interest in the commercial worm farms whilst realizing that it is less expensive to grow organic crops. The organic waste solution has been implemented in over 200 successful operations in South Africa.
