There are several famous markets in Senegal such as the Marche Kermel, Marche Sandaga, Marche de Ouakam in Dakar (Culture Trip, N.A.). As shown in the photos below, the markets are really simple to set up and free to trade. People just put their goods on piece of cloth or table or even on their own head for sell. It will be more familiar with the local people since the proposal will only be an empty playground with suggested information of setting up a market. Moreover, at the market, they can not only sell the products harvest from the farm but also from the handcraft lessons of transform recyclable waste into decorations to enhance the skills of women and increase their sense of value of different goods.

4.4 Technology Path-farmland, Rainwater & Biogas Plant The technology path connects the biogas plant, rainwater collection point and farmland. This path offers a tour through all the technical issues that can solve practice problems such as food security, access of water source, low energy or green energy strategies. There is a fence that proposed along the north west boundary of the site to ensure the safety of the activities happen in this community house. The food insecurity in local area that caused mostly due to lack of clean water source, climate change that caused crops decrease in production. Clean water source is really hard to ensure in local area. The only option that this project can proposed is to ask for local or national government and non-government organization’s help to offer portable filtration taps to local area, but this is not a long-term solution and the reason why our team could not offer this option is due to the cost limit of budget. Instead, there has been a proposed rainwater collection tank that connects directly to the downpipe which connects with the gutter to harvest the rainfall and store it as another water source. And for climate change, it is not something that could be changed by human beings. But according to Borgen Magazine (2017), growing ledyour, onions and rice seeds can let local people survive through the food insecurity led by climate change. Moreover, there are people who could not afford buying fertilizer for their farming. So, a simple biogas plant is provided to the local area which can transform human waste into fertilizer. This does not only save the money buying fertilizer but also provide a more clean-living environment for local area since they only bury their human waste underground which can cause damage to the soil type and unpleasant smell. The simple sketch below shows the biogas plant, rainwater tank and farmland. 43
