Australia Wind Energy
Anyone in Sydney (Australia) interested in Vertical Farming ?
An alternative to traditional farming, is vertical farming. Many types of plants (vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc.) can be grown in an urban concrete multi-storey farm, efficiently.
The vertical farm can occupy less than 1,000 m2 and have capacity to grow produce on multiple floors, under controlled temperature, and nutrition. Energy, water, and nutrients are most efficiently used and recycled. Careful design can result in no waste or pollution. The multu-storey structure can also harvest wind and solar energy, and rainwater.
Proximity to CBD makes marketting and tarnsport much less costly, and the products reach the customers more fresh.
I am keen to find people who might already be involved in this, or people who look for an opportunity to pioneer the paradigm shift.
People with farming experience, and people without farming experience can all help.
This is possibly an inevitable path when resources become more scarce. So, why not launch vertical farming while feasible ?
Sydney has masses of land, so this is not cost effective
Try Japan!

The power station was brought online on March 20 1969, and is supplied with coal by the adjacent open cut mine , transported to the power station along a 3 kilometre long private road. Overburden is stripped and backfilled into the mined area by earthmoving contractors using conventional power shovels and trucks.From 1955 test bores for coal were made at Anglesea by the Roche Brothers, who were then operating a mine at nearby Wensleydale where the coal reserves were dwindling. An extensive coal deposit was found two kilometres to the north of the Anglesea township, with mining commencing in 1959 to supply brown coal to industry and |
