Exciting developments in home gardening and the movement towards self-sustainability are upon us,
imagine the benefits of freshly harvested vegetables, fruits and spices year round.
Custom growing alternatives for growing plants in a controlled environment, soil free vertical growing with
controlled light, temperature, nutrients (including H2O) and air circulation.
Custom modules allow side by side growing of very different crops that require a wide variety of growing conditions
Benefits of
Habitat Growing
Pesticide Free Crops
Crop Cycles
Location Efficiency
Feeding the Population
End Famine
Gardening in Space
Controlled Environment Gardening
Future farmers are working today on growing food with
closed environment gardening
techniques.
Pesticide Free Crops
The use of harmful or toxic Pesticides can be reduced or eliminated in two ways.
First by shifting growing from outdoors and therefore the release of Pesticides into the open environment is eliminated.
Secondly, Modular controlled habitats can be maintained pest free so there is no need to use Pesticides.
This can guarantee a Pesticide free harvest.
Crop Cycles
Modular habitat growing can optimize the seed to harvest time by insuring ideal growing conditions.
By eliminating the seasonal limitations of traditional farming the number of harvests per year can be maximized.
Everbearing harvest of vine & tree plants may be achieved by developing hybrid plants adapted to vertical habitat growing.
Location Efficiency
Traditional farming requires a fixed square footage of area to produce a seasonal harvest,
modular growing habitats can employ vertical growing strategy to get a multiple on the yield per Square Foot used by legacy farms,
in addition Habitats may get multiple harvests per year.
In many cases domestic farms are competing with urban expansion for land usage resulting in farms relocating further and further from the consuming market.
Tropical foods are transported sometimes across a continent or even to another hemisphere, perishable seasonal harvest require processing and storage.
Growing habitats can be located close to consuming market, reducing time and cost to deliver crops.
Feeding the Population
ramp up food production in densly populated regions of the world to feed the ever increasing population
End Famine
Virtually end famine caused by flood, draught and crop infestations by relocating crop production from outdoors to modular habitats.
Gardening in Space
One of the long term challenges for the
habitation of space is the production of food.
The development of Modular Growing Habitats may be a stepping stone to assist in humans venturing into space.
