Fresh PRODUCE Sustainable Agriculture and the pleasures of fresh produce; vegetables and fruits.

Alternative ways of watering plants. Tower Gardens

The Tower Gardens

• Tower Gardens are growing food and edible flowers aerophonically. Seedlings in organic rock fiber, placed in towers. Nutrient solution and water stored in the base with low wattage submersible pump. Pump draws nutrient up and tumbles back down becoming more oxygenated. Repeating process, providing fresh oxygen, water and nutrients to the roots of plants.

Use Vegetables for a healthier envoirnment.

• Use of Alternative Ingredients. • Technological INNOVATIONS.• Unsustainable Appetite for meat.• Explosive demand for more food. • Project “SPACE 10”; Produce more food with less and in a more

sustainable way than today. • Skyrocketing demand for food as world population increases. • Meat Production impacts environment. • Meat Production uses dwindling fresh water supplies, forest and

grasslands destruction and soil erosion.

Well Nourished Children are the future of our nation.

• Mid Day lunch is a must for school children to learn, grasp sciences, mathematics, arts and humanities.

“Akaria vegetables”

• Use of local farmer market and buy unusual and odd shaped vegetables that reflect the biomass changes with stressful environment and separation form the main magnum for being weak or as an effect of injury. And consumption of these funny looking foods could have a therapeutic effect as well as understanding the concepts of a multiracial society and the challenges faced by its people during the course of time and reflect any changes or pathology behind the odd shaped vegetables which could explain loss of function later life and replacing well cooked such vegetables might provide the missing essential that might have been lost over time and hence may have an anticancer therapeutic effect.

Virtual Grocery Store

• In the most developed nations like the US, internet grocery stores are a convenient way for shopping.

• Commuter trains, while waiting can use smart phones to scan items and schedule deliveries.

• Access to thousands of items and merchandise.• Also food can be purchased from leading restaurants. • ALL ADDS TO CONVENIENCE AND COMFORT

LIVING.

Virtual grocery store

Drive through grocery stores.

Drive in Grocery Store

• Latest technological advances , where people can drive through the grocery store and shops from their cars without walking around the store. Kind of like a modern gasoline station.

• Reduces the stress and hassle of carrying groceries in a cart and standing while waiting for check out lines.

Smart Grocery Store

• Smart grocery store is the idea created by ‘Carlo Ratti Associate’; • Interactive food tables. • The interactive platform allows the user to use the touch technique to

scroll different pages that link to various food items displayed as pictographic on the screen and tapping, a simple technique, allows to read in detail about the food content of the labeled item, calorie count, with the additional feature that clearly demonstrates the amount of energy equivalent of the food item in terms of number of miles needed to run to burn those calories in food. For example, while lentils could be assimilated in the body by walking 63 miles, in contrast, a piece of salmon fish would require some 3000 or more miles to complete the process of consumption to assimilation and becoming part of our bodily functions.

Growing at HomeNanofarming.

• We all know that sometimes financial, education background, parental wealth etc. Does not allow to have access to a lawn or garden specially in fully furnished apartments and most university housing like dormitory or modern hotels and inns etc. Under the shortage of usable land the concept of NANOFARMING is emerging.

• This allows a tray filled with water and nutrients analogous to soaking beans and chickpeas in water, with a little day time sun exposure could allow the harvest to bloom. Simple radish, greens, herbs, bulbous plants and beets can be grown at home in a compact community with limited agriculturally habitable land with fertility and ability to grown crops

Vertical farming

• Plants are grown in trays, multilevel, with LED light of a particular wavelength suited to grow the plant and a cloth mesh made of recycled material moistened with a solution of nutrients.

• This allows crops to grow without herbicides, pesticides and fungicides.

• The concept of indoor food production in compact old buildings and increasing food supply for the masses is a old yet modern idea.

• This could allow use of old houses that could be given to students with little or no income and allow them independent small business and make use of their earnings to renovate their huts as they begin to face the challenges of everyday life while coming out of bookish world and learning to support themselves and loved ones.

Vertical farming

Rooftop farming

• Greens like lettuce, basil and kale have a limited shelf life and start to wither in 4 to 5 days while being transpoted from one location to another.

• The rooftop farming allows uses of automated control systems and bioelectronics to adjust climate control, though use of sunshades, vents and lights, heaters and fans.

• An all enclosed internal milieu allows for protection of plants against pests infestation and bad weather condition.

• It’s a great idea for employing people with disabilities with limited bodily strength to work in fields and open agricultural lands.

• Its an excellent way to escape bumble bees and lady bugs.

Roof top farming

Edible lawns

• Fleet farming allows to convert non farming and infertile land into soil fertile land through various irrigation systems and volunteering a small piece of non agricultural land into fertile soil that would allow landlords power and ownership benefits to people who are loyal to the country and would be awarded a small piece of land as loyalty to the government. It would create more business and independent jobs for the growing population and more control over the marketing society and would allow people from service class background to be included in the category of ownership and business class. Working as an employee in ones own business of interest would eliminate the gap between people of blue vs white collar jobs and allow everyone to rotate in all role playing activities and theme models.

SAGE project

• “SAGE” is an application that allows for creating food labels, popularly used by big markets like SAM’S club.

Economz

• An application that allows to visualize food consumption choices with carbon emission. An online interface allows for creating an imaginary meal plate and through complex data analysis and complex calculations electronically by the interface plate displays the carbon emission in terms of no of miles needed to burn calories and carbon emission of the meal plate. An excellent tool that allows beginner level bioengineer to show creativity and imagination in meal planning allowing for making the healthiest food choices with limited driving miles and reducing carbon emission with creation of a healthier, pure and fresh air envoirnment.
