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.

Water - Access Denied?

Water is a finite resource. Each generation uses the same water as the generations before it. However, the water degrades over time. Why? Because we pollute it with our chemicals from industry, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, livestock, mining and everything else we do.

Many people in the world do not have water authorities to ensure their water is "potable". Making water potable involves adding various chemicals.

The following video is about an Indian community that was able to reverse their drought. The drought was a product of man's activities and arrogance that we know what we are doing. Please take a few minutes to watch it. It is inspiring.
