Opis

Abundance methods offer an alternative for growing food and other forms of energy with plentiful resources that are cheap and will not run out - primarily solar energy, CO2 and sterilized waste stream nutrients. Abundance allows affordable organic food production in any practically any climate, altitude, latitude or geography. Freedom foods redesign our food supply from the foundation of the food chain with microcrops. Freedom foods free consumers for smart food choices, growers from fossil resource cost and consumption and ecosystems of waste and pollution. Peace microfarms liberate growers from dependence on increasingly expensive cropland, fresh water and other non-renewable resources. Peace microfarms avoid conflicts over diminishing natural resources by growing microcrops using abundance methods. Microcrops include the full spectrum of microorganisms such as algae, yeast, fungi, bacteria, archaea, plankton and many others. Microcrops deliver sustainable advantages over field crops. Peace microfarms produce 20 to 30 times more food per acre every year than modern agriculture. Microfarms scale to any size and may be sited practically anywhere, including cities. Growers recover low cost nutrients from sterilized waste streams and transform them into valuable freedom foods and other products. Growers use abundance methods to assure a sustainable food supply for many generations.
