MA'AT URBAN AGRICULTURE & INDUSTRIES
Ma’at Urban Agriculture & Industries™ (MUA & I)™ is a community-based organization committed to empowering and educating communities through sustainable agriculture practices. As an organization, MUA & I™ is dedicated to establishing an Urban Farm Network in the community and training the next generation of regenerative farmers to service them. The network will provide a platform for sharing knowledge and resources to promote sustainable agriculture practices and support the growth of local food systems.
A Regenerative Urban Agriculture Company
Empowering The Community Through Education To Restore Balance To Life
Products
In our effort to restore balance to the community we construct Hügelkultur High Rise Gardens™ that can be customized and made from premium or repurposed materials. During harvest season our Urban Farm Network™ produces chemical free, exotic fruits and vegetables. Upon request customers can purchase chemical free, nutrient dense, loamy soil intentionally mixed to produce and high yields.
Services
To achieve our goal of creating food sovereignty, specifically in the black community, we offer regenerative agriculture services like consultations, garden maintenance, HHRG™ installation & regenerative planting. We overstand that not everyone has the time or energy to manage a garden space, despite their desire for self sustainability. Our services allow anyone to grow in any space.
Education
We believe that the most efficient way to achieve our goal of creating food sovereignty is by educating and empowering people in the community with the knowledge and skills to grow their own food. In partnership with Ma'at 9 INC: Kemetic Rastafari Temple, we assist in providing virtual and in-person workshops. These workshops cover 7 topics that will give you everything you need to construct, start, maintain, and preserve your garden & harvest in a regenerative way that is harmonious with the planet.
Hügelkultur High Rise Garden™
Hügelkultur is a biodynamic agriculture technology that uses twigs, branches, logs, and other natural bio-matter beneath the garden bed to create heat, water, and natural nutrients from decomposition of bio matter. We have perfected this technique that sequesters carbon directly, adding natural benefits like self-watering, self-fertilizing, higher yields with low maintenance to your garden. We create many styles from premium HHRGs with custom steel paneling, to mobile Hexagon HHRGs, to HHRGs made to hold 5 gallon buckets!

Natural Landscaping
We believe that maintaining the harmony of the Earth is vital. We prefer and advocate the use of low energy consumption tools and equipment to best minimize our own pollution and consumption of non-renewable energy resources like petroleum fuels. We use natural materials to create an aesthetically pleasing area. We also take the excess natural bio-matter and recycle them in our garden beds and compost.

Homestead Furniture
The most important component to urban homesteading or living a self sufficient lifestyle is ingenuity. Creating furniture from scrap, recycled, or unique materials is vital in reducing waste and excessive costs. We offer creations ranging from shelves to benches.
Regenerative
Construction
The future of home
building
BALANCE and LIVITY have always been primary principles in our personal lives and in the WORK that we do. In our effort to create and maintain a self-sufficient and thriving community, MA'AT URBAN AGRICULTURE & INDUSTRIES was created in 2019 to return and modernize homesteading skills and knowledge to our people. Additionally, we INNERSTAND that having affordable shelter is the most significant factor in our welfare and stability. It is our goal to create homes using alternative natural building construction methods, such as super or hyperadobe earthbag homes, or others. The homes can be built using regenerative building techniques and materials such as hempcrete that is fireproof, waterproof, mold proof and insect proof. These homes can be constructed to withstand natural disasters like tornados and earthquakes. The average cost of building some of these homes falls right under 50$ per sq ft. The average cost of building a conventional home is around $150 - 180 per sq ft. This technique can be done with DIY by nearly anyone with minimal skill and training. Ultimately, our mission is to create industry in and for our community by educating and empowering people with this technology that will positively impact the housing crisis in this country with necessary emphasis on our community.
