The Future of Your Fresh Produce

168% of Produce has chemical residue.

1 in 6 Americans get food-borne illness every year. 3,000 die.

Our food is losing nutritional value. For example, tomatoes have 30% less nutrition than in the 1960s.

Do You Know What You Are Eating?

2Farming is dependent upon weather Did you know that 2011 and 2012 had the most volatile weather ever recorded?

In July 2012, 39% of all US farmland was in drought!

The U.S is loosing 2 acres of prime farmland every minute to urban sprawl. Existing farmland is wearing out from overuse.

Will you have food tomorrow?

3Most farm work is seasonal. There is not enough seasonal workforce to harvest our crops.

In 2013, 25% of the U.S. honey bee population died. 52% of our produce relies on bee pollination.

70% of all our clean water is used for agriculture. There will not be enough clean water for everyone.

Will you have food tomorrow?

4Where will your food come from? 85% of your food is not grown locally.

Competition - The worlds population will grow from 7 billion to 12 billion by the end of the century.

40% of the food grown in the U.S. is wasted due to long supply chains and inconsistent quality.

Will you have food tomorrow?5Can the U.S feed itself?The U.S. is the biggest importer of fresh vegetables from China, South America, Mexico, and Canada. The trend is increasing.

China, Brazil, Russia, and India are increasing their agricultural equipment and R&D spending. U.S. spending has declined since 2000.

China has 77% of the worlds food-growing greenhouses. The U.S has 0.7%.

6What Can We Do?Maybe Not Are We Doomed? 7What If Your food was grown in a food-safety-certified facility and you knew your produce was safe?

The produce was grown close to where you live and you knew where it came from?

Local food was available all year-round from a highly productive reliable source?

8And What If Your food was grown in a controlled environment producing high quality without chemicals?

The produce was delivered fresh daily and tasted like you just picked it from your garden?

Your local economy benefited with jobs, taxes, and local procurement?

9And Finally, What If The growing operation was environmentally sustainable by recycling water and generating its own energy?

All the fruit and vegetables were highly nutritious with perfect size and shape without GMO content?

The growing process and products were continuously improved by research and development?
