Aeroponics is how Businesses can Help Global Poverty
Aeroponic vertical farming will soon be the food centres of the world. With the technologies that incorporate hydroponics and Aeroponics, food production can take place right in the middle of the city centres of every country. Both of these growing methods use no soil. Both hydroponics and Aeroponics are water conservative methods of growing large amounts of food in small space, or vertically in large buildings.
Businesses that invest in this method of growing can be the largest contributors to the world hunger problem that is faced by the world’s population. These methods allow food to be grown in areas where there is no water, such as the Sahara Desert, and in regions that are too cold to grow their own crops for more than a few months of the year, like northern Russia.
Vertical farms are more feasible today than at any other time in history. The rising consumer demand for locally grown fruits and vegetables makes this venture not only cost effective, but profitable as well. Vertical farming can revolutionize and improve the world because this method of farming revitalizes land that is damaged by traditional farming. For every acre that is farmed indoors, twenty acres of land are able to return to fertile and viable land.
Vertical farms are eco-systems of their own, controlled temperatures, controlled nutrients and controlled water use makes this the best answer to the poverty and hunger our world faces today. Technologies exist already that can make this possible if businesses all over the world combine resources and start these growing projects in the major cities of the world.
Vertical farms can produce crops year around. If businesses that have invested in this type of farming would donate just one third of their production to hunger and poverty worldwide, there would no longer be children dying because they have had nothing to eat for many days. This food production is not limited to fruit and vegetables, chickens, fish, and other types of poultry can be raised indoors. These types of farms reduce the greenhouse emissions drastically. No farm equipment that uses fossil fuels would have to be used, another savings for the planet.
Aeroponic vertical farming truly is the answer to world poverty and food shortages. The sooner businesses get on the band wagon of this technologically advanced farming method; the sooner we can all go to bed with a full stomach and the sooner the poverty can be relieved in severely depressed areas. Aeroponic vertical farming is not just some science fiction notion of how food will be produced in the future, the time for this type of farming is now. Many individuals in power positions question if this type of farming really works, but as soon as one city takes that leap of faith, this type of farming will become the norm rather than the exception.
Global poverty is something that millions have to deal with and as we find a way to help them, citizen education is going to be vital to get that message across.
