Renewable Energy Efficient Farms (REEF) Vertically integrated on two (or more) levels

Controlled environment production

The Future of Agriculture - REEFTM

What REEF is Not…..

REEF is not conventional agriculture.

REEF does not involve:

Tilling the soil

Single/specialty crop farming

Greenhouse hydroponics

Classic aquaculture fish farming

Aquaponics for growing fish and

vegetables together

• Recycles all waste, nutrients, CO2, O2 and water

• Maximizes photosynthesis

• Deploys “smart photon” technology using advanced

LEDs for specific wave lengths of light

• Employs micro-algaes and anaerobes as

fundamental work horses and building blocks

Game changing agriculture production technology

Combination of synergistic food crops

Renewable energy

REEF Is a “Living Machine”

REEF is a Biological Refinery

Modeled after an oil refinery, with

interconnected unit operations to convert and

synthesize:

C–H–O–N–P–K and other trace elements

Seeds, eggs, occulum

Recycling of CO2, O2, nutrients, water

To produce: Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, acids, enzymes,

nutriceuticals, pharmaceuticals

Maximize crop yields

Reduce inputs of water, land, fertilizer and carbon

Close-loops and minimize waste and inefficiency

Minimize and control costs

Enhance profits and maximize return on investment

Offer educational and training opportunities

Creates jobs and sustainable economic development

What REEF Does…..
