We have been capable of identify proven technologies and adapt them to create a feasiable and sustainable operation
"what makes our technological proposal most relevant and transcendental with a superior feasibility and profitability with respect to other already established initiatives, is the integration of a sewage water and solid waste management systems that can generate all the electric power required, and obtain its needed water without invading the natural and man-made fresh water reservoirs that will be needed for humanity as population growth"
IS THIS A FEASIBLE PROPOSAL?
This is the first question investors would or should ask when considering investing in this type of project. The answer is “YES”. The possibility of this initiative is real and as a matter of fact the technology already exist and is been used successfully by different companies already established and many other high technology farms are starting to pop up all over the world inside unimaginable spaces such as old warehouses in Holland, old semiconductor factories in Japan and even on rooftops of buildings in Brooklyn. This trend is been promoted by the fact that by 2050 the world population will reach 9 billion, thus fueling the concern that the current food production system will not keep up with the level of demand and land used for food production is already exhausted; meaning the only options for growing cities looking to provide access to local and fresh food is to build up or indoors.
This companies’ success proves that the smaller profiled hydroponics channels concept works and is perfectly viable when use as the hydroponics component in a vertical aquaponics systems. As with this companies, in the Solar Aquapiramids design the same structural concept and technologies for environment monitoring and control has been used in order to operate with optimal levels of temperature, humidity, air quality, CO2 content and artificial lighting. These tecnology have demonstrated been the key factor for accelerating plants growth to more than double of the normal speed and to increase production, each one showing individually, an efficient operational record and when assembled together for aquaponics operation have resulted in a highly sustainable and profitable initiative for organic agriculture productions.
Back in 1999 Dickson Despommier, a microbiology professor at Columbia University who first developed the idea of vertical farming, thought vertical farming was going to become more and more attractive as climate change would drive up the cost of conventional farming and technological advances would make greenhouse farming cheaper. Back then he predicted that in 50 years the world would be producing half of its food in vertical farms.
So far Prof. Despommier hasn’t run short on his prediction. According to Dow Jones Venture Source, as the money involved in U.S. food startups is still small compared with Internet companies, venture-capital investment in agriculture and food soared 54% to $486 million in 2014 and new technologies that promise to change how food is grown, transported and sold are attracting increased interest from the kinds of investors that have fueled Silicon Valley powerhouses. Furthermore, as per a commentary in CNBC by Craig Lawson, managing director at MHT MidSpan Partners (a San Francisco leading national investment bank ), one of the most promising fields in agriculture these days entails growing crops indoors in layers, stacked in racks, in multi-story buildings or specialized structures. And an increasing number of sophisticated early-stage investors (venture and growth equity firms on one hand, and strategic players such as food companies looking to get in on the trend on the other hand) believe these New Age food factories could transform agribusiness. From Lawson vantage point of doing deals across a variety of segments, this is an area that has potentially massive long-arc potential for growth. From Lawson vantage point of doing deals across a variety of segments, this is an area that has potentially massive long-arc potential for growth. He consider that global demographic and environmental change is reshaping our world, and we, as inhabitants of this world, must in turn change as well. Lawson believe that these global changes are, and will continue to, impact us all. While the sequencing and severity may vary by region or economic standing (first world versus third world), the challenge, and opportunity exists everywhere and for investors, this might be the next big thing. And for Will Kain, venture capitalist and ecologically responsible investor for Rusheen Capital Partners, LLC ("RCP"), his goal is simple: Find and invest in those technologies and companies who will markedly ‘improve efficiencies’ and reverse the ecological damage and environmental harm modern agriculture and industry have wrought upon planet earth in the 21st century.
WHAT MAKE THIS PROYECT DIFERENT TO OTHERS?
What makes this project different from the others is its potential for global reach and impact on the planet, world economies and the public. It is based on the solutions to the most significant problems that our civilization faces at moments when we're struggling to figure out how we're going to feed over nine billion people with limitations in natural resources and in the face of a climate change that is becoming more unmistakable and destructive that must be reversed.
This new concept is in fact a total shift from the paradigms that we have been fallowing with the "green revolution" which has resulted in an environmental degradation force for the planet.
It will have the potential to produce, in much less than the 10% of the world cultivated land, all the green, organic food that will be needed by 2050 to feed an overpopulated world of over 9 billion people. It will also reduce the total water consumption for agriculture from 70% of the water currently available for humanity down to less than half, while eliminating the environmental degradation, GHG emissions from agriculture and livestock operations, and extracting, in a practical and profitable way, the excess CO2 that accumulate and remains in the atmosphere for up to 10 years. Making this new technological proposal, together with the elimination of fossil fuels, an effective and realistic way to reverse climate change.
It's determinant impact in achieving the extraction and sequestering of the CO2 accumulated in the atmosphere will be achieved by promoting world capitals to flow towards this new way of producing our food with low initial investments and high economic performances that will allow global expansion.
There is no doubt that reducing emissions is crucial, but sequestering the CO2 already in the atmosphere needs to be part of the picture as well. This technology will produce, massively and economically, bio-char (or bio-carbon), a resulted by-product from it's waste management system that has the potential to get back the fertility of nutrients depleted soils and extract and sequester under the surface, in the soil, CO2 and other greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide and methane gas in the organic wastes and in the atmosphere.
IS THIS A SUSTAINABLE AND PROFITABLE PROPOSAL?
"The concept of sustainability not only lies in the generation of excellent profits for investors, but goes even further as to offer more accessible prices to consumers and remunerations to workers and employees that will allowed access to a better way of life."
Despite the fact that these new state of the art farms have achieved an unprecedented farming efficiency, most of their production strategies, are oriented mainly to fresh produce. This consumers are eating more fresh every day, is the trend in today’s food market. They want ready-to-eat and better-for-their health, specialty cheeses, green organic grass-fed antibiotic and hormone-free natural proteins, deli and bakery goods and prepared foods, under the green concept of food production and food processing.
That’s why we’re working to primarily produce a grate spectrum of Green Fresh Clean Organic produce to satisfy this growing and important market segment. However, if we see outside the box we’ll see that organic food stores such as Whole Food Market and regular supermarkets like Walmart also offer organic food in various finished value-added presentations such as dryed spices, frozen products or in glass container. So why don't we take advantage of our high production capacity in small spaces and produce value added products as well? Who makes the big bucks in the food industry, the farmers or the valued added manufacturing companies? Doing both may be the key difference between an extraordinary success, a mediocre performance or total failure.
Its why our vertical aquaponics green ecosystem has been conceived with Solar Aquapiramides as a production core for organic feedstock products surrounded by processing systems units with valued added manufacturing lines developed to deliver green, organic value-added products using no preservatives or chemical stabilizers and only bio-degradable, non-toxic packing. .
This way our investors will exclusively possess a unique competitive edge and advantage to successfully penetrate the current organic food market niche with quality, variety and prices lower than any competitors with a technological infrastructure that will allow food production in any latitude and in extreme climate conditions.
OUR PRODUCTS
The food we harvest today has 50% the nutritional value it had 100 years ago. Inspired by the unexpected as we look out of the box we have discovered that we can evolve in the way we produce and process our foodscape, with bold ideas and new possibilities that will drive the industry towards better food with up to 200% of the actual nutritional value, exceptional sensory characteristics and flavor that will reduce the required amount of food to growth for a better future of our planet and humanity, creating new assortment of green fresh and value-added products from gourmet and ethnic to fresh, prepared foods to frozen specialties.
Our Green, Organic, Fresh Clean products will be farmed using excellent agriculture practices, nutrients reposition, crops rotation and a different but more efficient tillage and biotechnology with organic fertilizers produced with a new technology that doesn’t leave a negative footprint in our planet. Because we don´t farm in the soil and use clean sterile subtract with nutrients been provided continually as needed by the plant, we will avoid introducing in our food diseases that may be in the soil. We will have total control and visibility of our products, from production to delivering in the store by operating with in environmentally controlled spaces with sophisticated precision and a powerful logistics technology that maximize quality and production rate with infrastructures that helps deliver cutting-edge green production and processing solutions.
We will bring our products to the market quickly, using production centers that are located near to where our customers are so that it takes less miles to get to them reducing carbon footprint and deliver every day new choices of fresh and value-added products, from gourmet and ethnic to fresh prepared foods and specialty dishes to bring people’s kitchens into new highs with quality, flavor and healthiness.
Our goal is to offer everything you can find in a regular supermarket but again in a green, organic and in bio-degradable and non-toxic packing presentation.
