Juggling Dynamite

Each year farm runoff causes pollution and costly chemical imbalance in adjoining waterways. Smart new technology is solving this problem while dramatically reducing fresh water consumption in livestock farming. Reclaiming waste water from manure and returning it to reusable nutrients and clean potable water while making operations more profitable for farmers–now that’s more like it. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Everywhere.  See:  The importance of recycled water in livestock farming.

Check out LWR at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines! Ross Thurston, President of LWR explains the innovative manure treatment technology which recycles clean water and valuable nutrients from livestock manure. The patented technology can be installed at hog, dairy, and anaerobic digester operations. Let us help you manage your manure. Here’s a direct video link.

70% of the world’s fresh water consumption is used in agriculture and so smarter technologies and methods in that area are key to sustainable food production.

Montreal-based Urban Farms is advancing the revolution of Cubic Farming. Already supplying restaurants, hotels and supermarkets in Quebec and Eastern Ontario, vertical farming is win, win, win:  harvested in the morning and delivered by the afternoon, 365 days of the year, with a fraction of the transportation costs, fresh food offers better taste, superior nutritional value, less waste, no chemicals, no GMO’s, using 94% less water than conventional methods with yields that are 280 times the equivalent area of field production.

Presently our generation is faced with the biggest question of the 21st century. How can we feed our exploding population and save our planet at the same time? This video explains how we plan to do our part by producing local healthy greens without GMOs, pesticides and using only 6% of the water a conventional farm uses.  Here is a direct video link.

The LED lights and power systems are fueled by electricity and so can be plugged into renewable energy sources both on site and through the grid.

This is what we can do with all the excess big box commercial space that will be increasingly superfluous now that consumers are turning away from the debt-fueled consumption of ‘cheap’ retail goods.  The future is bright.

Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism as a child, talks about how her mind works — sharing her ability to “think in pictures,” which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids. Here is a direct video link.
