Food Security

We can EASILY feed the world. We DON'T NEED any GMOs or CHEMICAL laden farms. While vastly reducing our carbon footprints.

Today I saw this story about a fellow in America growing a monumental amount of organic food.

He's doing it on only 3 acres.

How can he do this? Well, he uses greenhouses and acquaponics, together with vertical plantings. The heat from compost is used to regulate the temperatures. Fish ponds incorporate a low carbon quality animal protein into the system. More specifically, the system :

* By producing 10,000 fish


* Using 300 to 500 yards of worm compost

* By utilizing vertical space

* Having 3 acres of land in green houses

* Using 1 simple aquaponic pump

* Food is grown all year by using heat from the compost piles




This can be copied. It would make a great community project.
